Red Breast Wrasse

[piranhaman00]

Hello,

I recently acquired A red breast wrasse (Cheilinus fasciatus) from divers den. I have QT the individual right now, I anticipated the fish to readily eat mysis but I have not seen him eat and is very shy, hides most of the time.

Anybody keep these? Any feeding advice with these guys? He is in a bare bottom QT with live rock.
Thanks

Bump.

Good luck. No personal experience here.

How big is it? Do you think it would go after some live glass shrimp shrimp or live black worms (if you can get them)?

Thank you,

After doing more research today, it appears they are just very shy fish. I am just going to keep attempting to feed.

She is about 3". I am not sure, I wouldn't be able to get any. I am hopeful she will come around have settling in more.

Was hoping for some personal experience but doesn't seem like a super popular fish. Thanks for the bump :)
