Hi guys,
I bought a banggai cardinal about a week ago. However, at the time I wasn't aware of the issues between WC and TB and turns out I got a wild caught. He acclimated well and is now more active around the tank, but the only problem is that he is a picky eater and spits everything out :sad: The frozen blend food bought from the LFS has mysis (reg and jumbo) shrimp, PE mysis, brine shrimp, cyclop eeze, some garlic extract, and bloodworms. Luckily, last night I finally saw him eating only the bloodworms. While I'm excited that he's finally eating, I know that bloodworms aren't that nutritious and great as a varied diet. I was wondering how I could wean him into eating the other foods in the frozen blends since he usually spits the rest out.
Tank info: FOWLR 15gal, 1 banggai, 2 firefish, all parameters look good. The two firefish eat just about everything in the frozen food and have no aggression towards the cardinal.
Thanks in advance!
