Hey everyone! I bought a few fish from the LFS! Always exciting ! I got a Coral Beauty, a falcohawkfish, and 2 glass cardinals. The hawk fish goes crazy for food. The coral beauty is eating fine as is one of the cardinals . The other one not so much. What should I feed to get him to bite ?

Cardinals outside of the Pyjama and Kauderni don’t tend to do well in captivity generally. I’ve found that Mysis & Brine are the basics that usually work for finicky fish (Although I usually used these on Regal Angels, CBBs ect).

Cardinals are finicky up front and often only go for frozen foods such as LRS fish frenzy and mysis shrimp

Well we found a winning combo ! Shout out to my LFS for suggesting this stuff soaking in frozen mysis and krill. The whole tank went nuts!
