Flagfin angelfish feeding advice?

Joeganja · Feb 15, 2017

I bet your expecting me to say I just got a flagfin and he's not eating. Well that's not the case. I soaked some mysis shrimp in garlic guard and he went for it within 30 minutes of adding him into my tank. Now here's my question. I've heard they primarily feed on sponge and they may be difficult to get to start eating. But since mine is eating mysis like a pig should I worry on it's diet?

Give it a nice diverse diet, maybe some vitamin supplements, some nori . . .

There are some "angelfish formula" cubes of frozen food which actually contain bits of marine sponge, among other things. You might consider sourcing some of that . . .

~Bruce, who's pretty sure you're well on your way with this guy - but not nearly the angelfish pro that some of the folks around here are!
