Stubborn, Pickie Blue line Angelfish..

[Piranhapat]

My Blue line angelfish will only eat live Black worms. I saw him eat mysis at LFS. When I took him home he refused to eat. After 59 days he finally ate live black worms. So for about a month he ate live black worms but in between tried different foods. Now after a month tried LFS, Mysis, brine shrimp, Clams on half shell, seaweed, flake, pellets, angel marine. It's been now 5 days without eating. I guess I have to buy black worms this week. He's stubborn and refuses to eat. Has anybody experience this?

Try some LRF and put one or two drops of garlic in it.

I tried every LRS and garlic too. He just looks at it.

This is what he loves

Bluelines are a pita, did you happen to treat him for parasites. Is he grazing at all, if he's actively grazing you could try some masstick smashed into a rock. Any cryptic sponges you could pull from your sump, I've also had picky angels eat chunks of the ocean nutrition food with the gel binder that I cut into small bite size pieces(maybe the spongy texture), you can also smash this into rocks. My flagfin like these silverfish(in the frozen section, small rectangular green and white box) I get from an asian market. Add other foods in with the worms and continue feeding him those. Is he the only large fish in the tank; my flagfin was extremely hard to feed in qt, when he went to dt with the other fish he is now a beast.
