I bought a Black Misbar Clown pair 6 days ago. I got a larger one (all black; about 1.5"), and a smaller one (still has some orange, about 1") in hopes that they will pair up and live happily ever after. The small one is normal, acts normal, eats normal, perfect fish. The larger one is a bit schitzo. The first few days, he did nothing but swim at the top of the tank as fast as he could from one side to the other. He has since calmed down and is finally chilling out and acting normal, but barely eating. I have tried Mysis, Blood worms, two different types of flake food, but the only thing he will eat is Brine Shrimp. And only eats like 4 or 5 at a feeding, while the other fish gobble them up. I have the vitamin enriched Brine Shrimp, but know that those still aren't the best food for them. I have tried soaking all food in garlic. He will try some others (Mysis), but spits them out.
Anything I can do to encourage him to eat more/other food besides just wait until he settles in more? I know it is still early with him (6 days), but I am a little worried about he guy. Especially since he exerted so much energy the first couple of days while going psycho.
Thanks in advance!
