help regal stop eating!!

[rduong89]

this morning i fed my reef with the normal stuff i feed them with. My regal usually goes crazy for it but today he is very lazy and just look at the food pass by him. Then he starts to chance the food, but thenhe stops and turn away. Should i just wait to see if he will eat later tonight?

Yea, i would wait, just keep an eye on him the next time you feed... He might just not have been hungry at the time?

edit: just to add, it not a problem if he misses a meal here or their. Just make sure he doesnt go more then a few days without eating.

keep an eye on him, mine started out eating pretty decent then after about 6 weeks he quit eating, just watched food go by and then he wouldnt leave the cleaner shrimps side and then died within the next 12 hours

it happend in a matter of a few days.

he was my favorite fish, they are so beautiful.

good luck i hope he starts eating for you again.

just keep feeding it and keep your eyes peeled. Small more frequent feedings may help, and add some nori on a clip so it can graze if it wants.

 

[rduong89]

it will not eat nori at all...i tried many times

did you try clams?

silly question, but do you mean regal angel or regal tang (AKA blue hippo tang)???

Has he had any kind of prophylactic treatment? I could see flukes as a possibility, but I don't think that's it.
