Feeding a Marine Betta

[erikandstacie]

Hi All, I just added a Marine Betta to my 75 g reef on Wednesday. The fish store that I got him from had him for a couple of weeks and said he was eating frozen Mysis shrimp. I put some in the tank the night I added him, and also last night. He has yet to eat. Is it possible that he's just not comfortable in the tank yet, or do I need to start worrying???

I dont know much about them, but i did find this info on a online site.
When first introduced into a tank it is shy and may have difficulty feeding. Using live foods such as feeder fish or shrimp will help it adjust. Once acclimated, it can be fed meaty foods and frozen preparations 2-4 times weekly.
