It took about 2 or 3 days for mine to figure out flake=food. He was good after that. Caution mine died by jumping out the back. Have your tank covered.

Love mine. One of my first fish.
It kills me the way he backs into his holes.
Mine ate right off.
Does seem to prefer frozen foods that contain greens.
Emerald entre and formula 2 but does eat flake.
Give it time.
Either it will eat or it wont.
Just because it is not eating don't throw in food to get it to eat.
Luck

Maybe they are bottom feeders. Try some sinking algea waffers. I read that they are algea eaters. Lesley

The Ecsenius bicolor is a herbivore and likes to eat algae.
That's all I could find on it, though I would think that it would take flake food. HTH

If it is a new addition then give it time to settle down in its new home.
It is not unusual for a new fish not to eat for a while.
Saying that, my bi colour eats everything and has done from day one.

Is he eating yet? I hope so, mine didnt eat for 2 or 3 days when I got him. now he eats like a pig! I feed flake, frozen brine, zoo plankton (jar), dried sheets of marine algae, The only thing he does'nt eat is the algae
