my now rehomed lamark. my foxface is skittish if I stand at the front of the tank, but if I walk up from the back, almost all my fish come up to "the feeding zone" and foxxy is now leading the way.

Mine is starting to get braver. All my fish eat out of my hand. The foxface is getting closer but isn't there yet.

when I first started in the hobby, back in the 80's, I had a 8" white mouth moray, two 10" snowflakes and a 8" volitan lionfish. I used to hand feed them goldfish occasionally. how do I feed these guys frozen mysis?

It was a striped cleaner (L. amboinensis). It molted, had eggs (i only had it a few months alone in my tank), was a little listless; then died :T From molt to death was only a few days

The chromis started and all the other fish followed suite.
You could try nori with habd above the water and slowly work into the eater. Greens are almost impossible to resist for a foxface my kole could care less

I tried feeding nori long ago and my herbies showed no interest. now I have some small patches of green stuff growing on the rocks they pick at and I'll grab some out of the algae scrubber for them to eat.
