LemonPeel Feeding?

[ca1ore]

Bought a LemonPeel for my FOWR. In QT currently. Refusing all foods offered, including the almost foolproof choices (brine, ova, LRS). Anyone got any clever ideas. I may have to move it into my invert QT that contains live rock this weekend if things don't turn around.

Dumb question but have you tried NLS pellets?? I've got two fish and that's all they'll eat other than picking on the rocks, but for some reason they really attack the NLS pellets.

Have you tried Nori or any algae? I read that this angel eats more of it than others.

What's LRS? Did you see the fish eat anything at the LFS before you purchased it? If you haven't already you might want to buy some clams or mussels at the supermarket and throw one of those in the tank for it to pick at. (hopefully) Lemonpeel angels are notoriously picky eaters IME. GL.

LRS has been tried, it's in the OP

Not a dumb question at all - in fact, no, I have not tried pellets. good suggestion. Nori is ignored.

Yes indeed. Always before I have been able to coax them to eat - this one is just proving a little more reticent.

i understand it has been tried. the guy asked WHAT LRS WAS. so I explained what it was to the person asking and NOT to the OP

My typical answer, tried clams?

 

[ca1ore]

Yeah, tried those. At least it looked at the clam; didn't actually eat any that I can see.

 

[caribfan]

Oyster would be my next suggestion. Freshly shucked, still alive. Try the clam live too.

After blithely ignoring each and every kind of food offered, I gave up and moved this fish into my invert QT. Picked at the rocks for a day or so, and now has started accepting mysis and ocean plankton.

Invert QT is a pest infested mess, but has proven quite helpful in acclimating leopard wrasses in the past. Now a LemonPeel.

Simon you know what they say, if it works... DO IT
