Longspine cardinal fish

[VirusAcro]

Hi can anyone help me to get my cardinal fish to eat and they are wild caught..??

Try live brine. If that doesn't work than move onto a amphipod culture and try those. Many online retailers sell pods and live brine, but both are fairly easily cultured in home these days. Hope all works well beautiful species and a pitty if it doesn't do well as bangaiis are having there own population issues.

Thank you WWR..!!..I didn't know until I bough them home it was wild caught..I have like 6of them..man this is a challenge to train them eat frozen food..I hope I can keep them alive..and they are very beautiful fish like you said WWR..

Yeah they are quite a reef delight.

If you want food ASAP hatch some baby brine and see if they go for that, can be done simply (look up YouTube video) and try that, otherwise as stated just do the live food and mix in dead food slowly into the live food mix and eventually you'll get it. Persitance, patience, and care and we will see great success!!
