Fish wont eat?!?!?!?

[FxdupCobra]

I just bought this regal angel and he is not eating. He is my second one, my first one ate and was very healthy. I have had him 3-4 days and I have tried mysis, brine, formula two, flakes, pellets. I have used garlic on the food as well to get him to eat but he won’t. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Amonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
PH = 8.0
Salinity = 1.025

Someone told me to get some clams, muscles and oysters. Freeze them to get rid of any bacteria, then thaw them out break a whole into the shells and then place them into the tank and see if the fish will eat? Any thoughts?

Wow that fish is lucky to have such a variety of food!

I feed mine cheap garlic infused pellets hahaha.

You can try frozen mysis, brine ( depending on the size of fish ) maybe even bloodworms to see if it attempts to try any of those.

The deal with clams, mussels and oysters you may want to blend them up to a nice chunky consistancy first.

Grab an ice cube tray, pour the "FXDUPCOBRA" special in the tray, freeze and feed.

I can't really vouch for the large cunks to be tossed in the tank directly. Never tried that before, if the fish doesn't it eat. You may encounter, actually WILL encounter Phos and Nitr spikes.

Ok I am starting to feel that there is no hope. I have tried freezing a combination of food chopped up and feeding it to him and nothing. I have tried live brine and nothing. I have even tried a sponge (even though I don’t want him to learn to pick at plants/corals) and nothing. Is there anything else or is this guy going to die . . .
