Getting fathead to eat

[chris.gries.50]

You would think with a name like a fat head that the fish would eat quickly. I have had a fat head Anthias In quarantine for about a week. I have tried to feed it LRS and order for us. It seems to pick at them but not really eat well. Any advice on what foods to try next. The fish is in a 29 gallon QT tank with live rock so it should be pretty comfortable.

Live adult brine is a good starter. Assume you are increasing flow when feeding frozen? Just that they associate flow with food coming in. Not as fanatical about it as many other anthias, but still react favourably to it during feeding.

Hth.

I have had good luck with Cyclops and Fish eggs in the past.
