New potters angel wont eat yet...

+1 on the nori suggestion. Most grazers, like your angel, will have a hard time resisting it. I always use nori when I have a fish that isn't feeding.

Nori is useless for this potters. Tried multiple time. Made cocktails of all foods I have but problem is the angel is so scared it won't leave it's pvc pipe hide-out. So the food doesn't have a chance.

Strange it was more bold a few days ago but now he just stays in that hiding place.

How long can he go without food? He seems healthy and fat. By the time easy reef masstick arrives, will be about 1 week without food.

Yikes,just noticed he has a big scar on his side. Looks like he has a cut or infection... that may be why he isn't eating.

Not sure how or what caused this.. it looks like a huge cut, and deep in his body. Gonna try to treat it with maybe kanaplex.. but probably a goner huh?

He is pretty. You mean to say that you did not notice a cut that large before now? I would highly suggest trying to find some live black worms as already mentioned.

My lfs doesn't sell them. I'll call a few others see if they have it.

I didn't notice the gash until today. The angel has been hiding in the pvc pipe all the time, makes it hard to see him. I had to remove the pipes to get the pic. The gash is so big, looks like I can see flesh. I just gave him some antibiotics see if that helps

How could this happen? Very strange.

He still hanging in there... I get the easy masstick today, and I found a store with live black worms. I will pick that up at lunch time too.

Good food is coming Mr. Potters. ..wishing him of her luck.
 
Gash may not have been there when you got it. I've had fish develop body ulcerations a few times that look like a gash.

Ya I dont think it was there before.. It looks like the glass heater could have caused it but I would think he wouldnt park himself there if it got hot.. The gash is huge!
