Hello! Yesterday, I purchased a rhino blenny and have fallen in love with him. He hasn’t eaten yet and doesn’t appear to be interested in spot feeding with bloodworms/brine shrimp. I’ve seen some sites that say they would eat copepods. Should I wait and see if he starts taking the food? Or order copepods? They wouldn’t be here for 5 days so I’m not sure if they’d get here in time anyway. I’m really just hoping he’ll start taking blood worms. I love this hobby but it stresses me all the way out. I’d appreciate any tips on how to care for him
 
I never try to feed a new fish on the first day, they never eat on the first day. Some fish won't eat for several days until they feel comfortable. Just feed your tank at the same times every day, the fish will quickly learn the schedule and eventually come out to eat. Don't keep adding food to the tank if its not eating, that will foul the water quality. Fish can go many days without eating, don't worry.
