So, Fri 2/19 I picked up a large, tank bred and raised Banggai from a nearby LFS and he hasn’t really eaten anything since, MAYBE 2 pieces of mysis. He just sits and hides in the corners of the tank, watching his reflection. I’ve tried fish eggs, different brands of brine and mysis and pellet food. It will be floating right in front of his face and he could care less.
There are only 2 other fish in the 75gal tank, a very small Ocellaris and medium sized Pajama Cardinal, neither of which I have seen bully the Banggai.
His mouth/jaw does not appear to be distended in case he had eggs in there. Check water params weekly and all normal.
Any ideas/suggestions? I almost wonder if I can return this guy to the LFS for a less picky one before he starves in my tank.
