Bangaii Cardinal Not Eating

[bsktmom]

I just got a Bangaii Cardinal on Tuesday. He is in quarantine right not with another fish. The Bangaii isn't eating though. I'm not sure what to do. The other fish is eating fine. I am feeding them frozen Mysis Shrimp soaked in garlic and selcon. I have also tried Krill. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks...:help:

try as many different foods you can, if you can hatch some live brine it might help or either buy live brine. a lot of times its hard to get bangaii to eat processed foods if they are wild caught.

Try using Garlic Extreme, it has worked for many people I know when they have a stubborn fish.

would he be possibly carrying eggs? Fron what I understand, they don't eat during this process. Where's Bang? He's the pro.

I suggest just trying to feed a very very small amount once a day. The wild Banggai typically don't eat for a week or two after being introduced.

Thanks everyone for your answers. Yes, I have been soaking the food in garlic. I don't know if our LFS has live brine but I will check that out.
