I added a flame hawk to my tank 5 days ago which already has a clown and a dottyback.
Looks to have settled in ok, no bullying that i've seen. Spends a lot of time perching on a powerhead or some live rock at the back of the tank.
My issue is getting it to join in at feeding time.
When i get too close to the tank it skips off to an inaccessible area at the back of the tank, seems oblivious it's feeding time.
I feed a frozen shrimp mix every second day with powerheads off so nothing goes to waste.
I've now bumped that up to everyday and have kept the powerheads on with the hope that it sees the food flying around (hasn't helped so far).
Should i be concerned, is there any other method to coax feeding?
Have heard they're normally pigs, is it just a matter of giving it more time to get used to my presence near the tank?
Cheers
