Magnificent Foxface not eating.

[waddwadd]

I got a new foxface on Saturday, and it still hasn't eaten. I've tried flakes, pellets, nori, frozen, and it eats nothing. Please help!

Give it time. Moves seem to rattle some fish. Is it in QT? In a quiet place?

You could try all three colors of nori. It might take a few days for him to recognize it as food. Then watch out!

Some have reported better luck attaching nori to a rock first then using a clip. Remove the uneaten food every day.

I have it attached to a rock, all three colors also, but I believe it is to far gone now. Its laying down on anything it can find, not trying to hide though, it can barely swim. There isn't anything i can do now.

Well that's a real bummer! You've only had it three days?

Does the LFS have a guarantee? How did it look when you go it? Skinny?
