I bought him from a guy wanting to get rid of him and he was eating before I took him out of the guys tank.
I put him in a 40g QT tank with my sohal. I am about to begin lowering the salinity and put them in hyposalinity.
The emperor has no problems being the bully and sending the sohal running.
All the tank perm are fine, 0 ammonia 0 nitrite
the problem is that I cant get the emperor to eat.
I put nori in the tank daily, I have tried mysis, angel formula, flake, flake soaked in garlic.
he might have eaten a few little pieces as I saw his mouth jet out and and look like he ate something, but that is about it.
Also, his color seems to be fading a bit - getting spotty. It is my understanding this usually occurs when he is stressed due to nitrite, but there is none present.
any ideas on feeding and coloration?
