regal angel

[rayandronda]

Just purchased a regal angel 3 days ago and have not been able to get the fish to eat yet, have tried nori and all types of frozen foods. Any suggestions would be great to stimulate the fish to eat.

clams work that is how I got mine feeding. The LFS sold them and I just bought a small package from them. Cockules are what you want.

If they sold you the fish, tell them to sell you some food for it. They should be able and willing to order anything you want. Otherwise, buy from an online vendor.

I really don't like to buy fish online or anything else always seems that some thing bad happens like a dead fish or somthing you know what i mean.

In many of the angelfish I have owned in the past, when I have first gotten them, they don't eat for a few days, especially if they had bigger bellies. I think one time the one didn't eat for 5-7 days. They just get stressed, and don't eat. If after 7 days, worry, but in my experience, this is normal.
