When I got mine he didn't really eat much for about a week he would eat the odd PE mysis I got him to eat nori soaked in selcon first then he slowly started with flake he still won't eat pelets of any kind.

They stress very easy which explains the eating problems.

yeah but you do want to get him eating something try soaking his food in selcon or garlic.
is he picking at the rock work?

they also say broccoli leaves work well. not the stalks that we eat but the leaves surrounding it. you will probably have to ask the produce person to get you some. But that is terrestrial vegetables, a lot of people are against it, but if the tang eats it what will it hurt.
