Hello,
I recently purchased a cleaner wrasse and the LFS advised me that he would eat Mysis Shrimp... Well after two weeks all my fish are picked clean... not much there in the first place as they were all healthy and he has not eaten anything during the last 4 feedings since purchase. He is active and does not seem to look like he is starving....yet
I have stayed away from these fish due to this eating problem and now am faced with trying to keep him alive and feel deceived by the hope he would eat Mysis.
I have done research about feeding them shrimp eggs called "ebiko". After calling all my local sushi shops no one has shrimp eggs only salmon roe. Think this would work?
I have ordered brine shrimp and will attempt to hatch and feed the newly hatched brine shrimp to the wrasse. Has anyone had success doing this? Also can this have negative impacts on my 300Gal FOWLR tank? I am willing to buy shrimp eggs but cannot find an online seller. Any help from anyone on knowing a guy or sushi store that will let me order and ship these eggs would be helpful or another measure to keep him alive would be appreciated.
Thank you for the time.
