This is now my second attempt at ttm with a geometric hawkfish, I've successfully put two tailspot blennies through ttm with no issues at all. Both the hawkfish were eating frozen mysis at the store, both were very active (one almost jumped out of the bag) when put in the ttm tank and both appeared healthy.
I lost the first one on the last day of ttm, it hadn't eaten during the whole ttm process and just withered away, the second one has only been in since last night but is also showing no sign of eating. I know they can take a few days to start eating but I'm really worried this one won't make it either.
The first one never really moved around the tank and just stayed in a bit of pipe or against the side of the tank. Whenever I put food in it didn't move at all, sometimes the food fell on top of it and no response at all. I've blacked out 3 sides of the tank this time and added more hiding places as I was worried the first one was stressed. What more can I try?
