Bluejaw Trigger Acclimation

[VengefulNemesis]

Picked up a Bluejaw Trigger last Thursday night, and as of today, Tues, he has not come out of hiding. I have not seen him feed, I have tried everything and have yet to see him eat. He is about 3.5 inches long and appeared to be in good shape when I got him. He still looks okay from what I can see of him. Should I take him back or just keep waiting, any help would be appreciated.

Mine took about a week or so to start eating. I had him for 2 months, only came out to eat and one day he died out of no where. Not sure what happened

Agree w/Radiohead- you will need to give it a week and then he will always be around!

Is it in a QT or the display? Try frozen mysis and something like Selcon.

He is in the display, I have tried live brine, frozen mysis, pellet food, flake food, all soaked in garlic, and finally ghost shrimp.
Thanks for the help everyone, I guess I'll just give it more time.

Just be patient, these guys are very shy upon introduction, particularly if there are very many tankmates. Offer lots of different foods, soak them in garlic and I'm sure he will be out soon enough.....

For anyone reading this that wants a Bluejaw, the fewer fish you have in your tank when you add one the quicker they will feel at home.
