Sea Hare Feeding Frequency

[Lukeb321]

I'm well aware that these guys need constant food and that getting to the real reason of having algae needs to be considered but I tried increasing water changes, no feedings (no fish), and reduced lighting.

I bought our new favorite with the idea of bringing him back to LFS or seeing if someone local wanted to "borrow" him but he has quickly become a favorite. He's mostly cleared the tank in about 10 days. From online reading, I guess I'm lucky since I put him on a clip of nori and he went to town. I've been giving him this every other day.

Too much? little?

How often would you feed him the nori?

In the wild, Dolabella auricularia will hide and not eat for extended periods of time. I'm not sure about the Aplysia species. If he quits eating it and hides, don't be surprised

I give my Dolabella nori every night. (10x10 cm) After a few days he knew where I put it every time. And eat it all.

Now after 5 months he stopt eating. And moves really slow. When I tried to feed him with nori he was trying to eat it. Also really slow. Because I was thinking he's going to die I put him in quarantine. It is there for 6 days now. Does not move at all. Every time when I come home he is in a other position. Not much but it moves so he isn't dead. He doesn't eat but there is still poob comming out of his back. He looks like this, anyone? He is also covered with white "thing"

The white stuff is his slime coat. That's probably not good.

My Mg was really high, so I put em in quarantine. Though this was the reason. The quarantine tank is back to normal Mg . Did this with several water changes by dripping for 4-5 hours. In 4 days.
He is still alive. But he is in this state for 5 days now. It still produce poop.
