Hi all hope all is well, I have been a way for a while moved to texas for a while so I sold all my fish. Luckly after things didnt fall through down there my dad hadnt taken down my tank so I got to start all over . Any ways I recently got a porcupine puffer, niger trigger, and now a sail fin tang and a fuzzy dwarf lionfish. All of the fish are juvi's so still pretty young well except for the fuzzy lion not so sure how old he is. I have 2 quick questions about the sail fin and the fuzzy d< haha that could be his name!
1. The lil sail fin is eating like a pig, he ate an hour after i placed him into the Q tank and even the display tank (2 weeks ago) however he is only eating the frozen brine and mysis, i put up some alge sheets in the tank but he wont touch the things. I dont want him to get malnuerished I just dont know what I should do to get him to eat the sheets. Formula 2 doesnt work either maybe its because hes a juvi i wanna say hes about 3 inches long...and tall??? But any one have any thoughts on that?
2. The lion fish I got was from a petstore (duh) and it was owned by one of the people that work there, he would go to the top of the tank when he went by and begged for food (cute i know) before i bought him i made sure he fed him to make sure he was healthy and eating. And well hes pretty healthy. The problem im having is they were feeding him feeder goldfish, and I know those are bad for them. Too fatty and what not, but I cant get him to eat anything else right now, Ive been feeding him goldfish just to make sure he eats, while i try diff things to entise him....oddly enough he hasnt attacked my blue damsel in the tank... yet lol. Any one have any ideas on how to get him off the junk food?
Thanks have a good one
