Hi,
This is the first time I am doing QT to a fish. The Midas blenny arrived yesterday morning. I dropped the bag in QT tank for temperature acclimation. The salinity of the water bag was 1.017 so I matched the QT tank water with the same. On day one the fish was sitting next to the sponge filter near the glass wall. I have one day gap and today did spot feeding with mysis shrimp. The fish have ignored the food and now it is hiding below the sponge filter. I am worried because the fish have not accepted the first feed. Attached the video in which the fish is hiding and the pic of my QT tank. I am thinking if i have done a mistake by adding the fish to QT rather than adding him to the DT directly. Please share your experience and inputs on this. I am not sure how long the fish will be in stress. I would not be worried if the would have accepted the feed.
