Brain farted and made a purchase but don't know what the yellow fish is. Can someone let me know?

Picky lil eater gonna be a challange. Good thing is I got the same food he was eating at the lfs

 

[SDguy]

if he's eating just feed very often. also prazi him.

 

[pinchiegringo]

As of now he is grazing the algea on my rocks and seems pretty content. Time will tell

 

[SDguy]

They don't have the best track record, so I wouldn't just let him graze on rocks and wait and see... I'd be throwing all sorts of food options at him. GL! Great little fish... I love their blue eyes.

Anybody knows when the black lips develop??Had the guy almost for a year and still no black lips?????

picked this up today just to try he loves it but not enough sponge in it. I'll keep trying different types and see

 

[SDguy]

Maybe Copps will chime in, but I'm not sure sponge, while a huge majority of many angels' diets, is essential for a long happy life...

 

[pinchiegringo]

so far so good, seems to been eating the algea cubes and be some what content. anyone have any other suggestions as to a good food? he likes to pick at the squid or shrimp chunks i feed the snowflake also. was thinking about mixing up squid, shrimp, some flake and the algea cubes into frozen chunks for him

It is a Snowflake eel.
