Juvenile emperor not taking any food!

[jbrown11352]

My 1.25" emperor will not eat flake nor brine and he's looking a little thin and weak. He was eating brine at the lfs. Anyone have any ideas on what else he might take?

Did you use same food as the LFS? I ever try Cyclop-Eeze Wafers, Garlic Xtreme... anything will attract the new comer to eat.

try mixing up your food into a concentrated juice, this should entice it. also try rod's reef food.

New Life Spectrum sinking pellets for finnicky fish works very well with marine angels.. I tried first hand.. practically Every angel fish will take that food. Hope this helps

sweetwater zooplankton is what i used to get my anthias and coral beauty angel to eat prepared foods.

steveohh, sounds like you need to make it to jbrown's house a little sooner....I think he could use some beverage consumption today.

to all for future consideration... a special treat for enticing large angelfish try finely chopped squid (frozen) not the Moray Eel sized strips but the finely chopped stuff.

Used it to get my Conspicilatus rollin'
