Show off your tilefish!

Blue face tilefish (Hoplolatilus starcki) acquired for 3 weeks not eating. In QT tried mysis, live brine, reef frenzy, assorted pellets no response.

PVC QT environment. Not looking to add rock or sand. Quite a fat and big specimen do I just ignore this and hope he eats when I transfer to DT?

Finished treatment:

IME, these guys don’t do well with a sterile environment of QT. They do best when it’s just observation, quarantining these species’ for a potential disease without seeing signs can be hard on their overall health.

Before continuing with treatement, try getting him feeding again. Do you have a photo of him?

I agree. I have a 20 gallon observation tank with LR and sand running for 2 plus years. Tiles go straight into this for 2+ months. After eating well then they get prazi. Other fish go through QT tank then observation.

You have had this tile for 3 weeks. Does that mean you treated with copperpower and prazi at same time? That can be hard on the fish. Large water change, maybe with DT water, and see if he will eat.
