So I picked up 3 heniochus and they are in quarantine now. 110 gallon bowfront with 30 gallon sump with skimmer, little live rock, crushed coral, and 2 large sponge filters in the sump. Been running for maybe 5 months or so with 2 damsels in there to keep the bacteria going. I also overfeed it so it would be ready for larger fish like heniochus. Don't want to shock the system into an ammonia spike.
Unfortunately, they are the H. acuminatus. Not too upset. They will go good in the 300 g Rubbermaid with my mono who just sits there until feeding time. Had them 4 days.
2 are crazy pigs. The third is extremely passive about eating. Goes after it, mouths it, then spits it out. keeps some in, but not much. Tried brine, spirulina infused brine, plankton, angel formula frozen food, Mysis, pellets, garlic soak, vitamin soak, green sheets, purple sheets... Nothing works.
Not treating the tank yet. Will do so once they all start eating. No signs of disease or parasites yet.
Anybody got any ideas on how to get this little guy to eat?
