Saltfinsax Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Man I can't get mine to eat Nori less he has to. Have you tryed some Caulerpa from the sump? The brown wafer algae is his favorite and is hard to find in my tank now. I could find a little in my sump for him but it will just be a teas for these fish. Let me know if you want me to bring some over later tonight or tomorrow. I guess everyone say your just around the county block from me.

newfisher Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Try soaking misis in garlic for a 1/2 hour before feeding. Garlic triggers a feeding response in fish. It has worked for me with different fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Try spirulina flakes. All my fish devour it. Even tangs a few days old in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Re: Naso not eating Soak the Nori in something like DT's or some kind of nutritional plankton or something....maybe even with mysis or bring in hopes some sticks to it and is eaten....just a thought....the garlic extreme was already hinted to and I would second that....I have some if you wanna try a little and are close enough....I also have my DIY food which is high in vegies and meat....but EVERYTHING in my tank loves it.....everything.

lewisriverfisherman Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 was just wondering how many times a day you are feeding? i try to feed nori on a clip 2 times a day if possiable and then mysis at nite soaked in garlic. my naso also did not like mysis at first but now has adapted to it after a couple of weeks.

madmike Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Dan I've got pe mysis, garlic, and new life spectrum pellets you can try if you want. I'll be home tonight around 7-8 if you want to drop by. Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate213 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Is it a new fish, or have you had it for a while? Lately all the fish I have bought seem to slowly starve to death. It is really weird since they eat well and stay active, but they get skinnier and skinnier until they finally dont have enough energy to eat and pass. Im thinking it is some kind of parasite or disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmike Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 PE is a brand, it stands for piscine energetics... it is a high fat content mysis that really puts weight on fish, like 90% of public aquariums use this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisriverfisherman Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 pe mysis has a protien content of like 69% as where hiakari has only like 10% protien content. after i read all the labels, this is the only mysis i feed my fish. its a little bit more but is worth the extra money.
