Fatting up a fish

[seabry]

I bought a scooter blennie the other day from the local pet store, ( bought it out of pitty) the poor blennie is very skinny. It's just a youngin' it's only about 1.5 inches long.
My question is:
Is there any food that I can feed him to fatten him up a bit?

mysis shrimp, brine shrimp will probably do

Try to find some live brine, live mysis, or live blackworms.

If you have a refugium,send him on an all-you-can-eat vacation.

I agree with all the live food opinions. But I have also had wonderful success with Special Formula VHP. It is made my the same people who make Formula 1 and 2 products. Many smaller LFS dont stock it, but its readliy available for ordering. The VHP stands for Very High Protein. On the carton, it says it is specifically designed to "fatten" fish up and all that stuff. Great nutrition too. Check it out.

PS-- not only does it work for all fish, but I used it on my old lion, clown trigger, and sohal tang. They got ginormous and quick too.
