I recently went to the lfs and came accross forktail blenny there and I buy it imeediately cause they are extremely rare here. I took him home, put him in an acclimation box with a pvc pipe for him to hide and left him there for a day. Today i saw him swim out from the pipe and being active so i try feed him some shrimp pieces. He did not take any of the floating pieces but i saw him bit one piece that fell down and drag it into his pipe. Im not sure he eat it or not but im gonna try again tomorrow and i will try few more type of food. I have some frozen shrimp, frozen brineshrimp, dried krill, and pellets. What should i use to train him to eat?
 
Brine shrimp,bloodworms, white worms, fresh mussels or clams and mysis.
Unfortunately i cannot find any mysis here at my place. Been seeing mysis on every fish food list. I can find some frozen bloodworm but whiteworm here they only have the one at the size of the thread line. I do want to try the dried krill, can he eat that, will it be to hard for him to eat?
 
I ordered all my frozen food online. I wouldn't feed the dried krill but that's just my preference.
I mean they dont mysis shrimp supplier here both online or in store lol. Best ive ever find online is live bloodworm
