Affter almost 15 non eating days my CB is finally eating!!!!!
It has been eating since last sunday. It eats like maniac. The only thing that eats is misys.
Does any one know how to feed them clams?, or if ever eats pellet, flakes, etc.

Thanks.

I have never heard of a CB eating flakes or anything besides mysis or brine, frozen that is. I know they will eat live just fine, unless they are stressed.

I had one for 3 months when it stopped eating and would not eat anything, even live brine.

Do you know why stops eating?

Most likely stress, or maybe some sort of digestive infection. An expert would be better able to answer that question.

Anyone else with some experience on feeding clams to this fishy?
