He comes to the tank and seems to want food with the rest of the fish :/

What is a preferred food for juvie coral cats? This one ate like a trooper for the first few feeds but now won't take my food. I have been feeding NLS Thera A pellets, mysis with spirulina and garlic, artemia brine with spirulina and garlic, angel and pygmy angel frozen formulations, mullet, whiting, mussels, basa and a little prawn.

Coral cats usually aren't picky. Anything meaty is usually readily eaten.

Which is ehat makes me worry :/ would it do better with the interest in food if it had another coral cat to hang with?

 

[eatbreakfast]

No. It might have made a difference the first day or two, but the fact it was already eating means it is not lack of it's own kind.

Internal blockages, internal parasites, high nitrates, exposure to meds, or aggression can cause appetite loss.

 

[94Roarge]

I'll try a few things and see how it goes.

Would a Dissapearing Wrasse and a cleaner wrasse (bluestreak) get along?

Would a Dissapearing Wrasse and a cleaner wrasse (bluestreak) get along?

Maybe. The genus of the disappearing wrasse can get fairly aggressive, especially toward other wrasses, but out of that genus, the disappearing wrasse is on the low-end of aggression.

 

[94Roarge]

Are cleaner wrasse also less likely to be picked on than say, fairy wrasses?

Are cleaner wrasse also less likely to be picked on than say, fairy wrasses?

No, because many species of wrasses, including the genus Pseudocheilinus are oppurtnistic cleaners, or cleaners as juveniles, and will therefore be territorial towards other cleaners.

A larger cardinal sphardy, though they can come in pretty small. Pretty peaceful and hardy.

Are they a fish that would get bullied but active wrasses and similar?

 

[eatbreakfast]
