My Scopas don't eat...

[sutyi83]

Hi, i need some advise... I have a Zebrasoma Scopas ( i bought him maybe 4 month ago ), and he was a good eater, but i put some algae sheet in the tank, and he don't touch it all day long. Before today, when i put the food, it comes, and eat with big apetite... He was a fish alone in the tank for 3 month, one month ago i bought a Phalanea, and last Sunday i got an Entacmea Quadricolor anemone, plus this Monday i changed the light bulbs. Is he stressed maybe? Or what can be the problem with it? I don't want to loose him... Two days ago i start to adding a korallen-zuht iodine-complex, and the ferrum-complex. The fishes are sensitive for this stuff?

Thank you for the answer!

If he looks OK, one day without eating is WAY to early to even guess what the problem is, if any. Any fish can refuse to eat for a few days occasionally. I assume you are feeding foods other than the algae?

No, the fish just eat green seaweed sheet. Anyway he looks like good, he has tight fins, he swimming, he has no any white spots ( i don't know what is in english ) so he looks like OK.

I think that fish is getting used to new lighting so need some time for adujstment. Should not be sensitive to any element suplement unless if does afect the ph ... Should be fine soon... But maybe should offer pellets or flakes to suplement feeding... Brown scopas usually accept these foods well.
