i just picked up a small (2") Queen Angel 2 days ago and its still not eating. just looking at whatever i feed it. flake, marine cuisine, emerald entree and seaweeds. i also have a coral beauty (2.5") a cinn. clown and some chromis in a 55 fowlr tank. HELP

Did you ask them to feed it at the store before you purchased and did it eat then?

I'd give it a couple more days. Even though the fish I bought eat well in the store, sometimes it took a week before they were secure enough to dash out of their hiding spot to grab some food. I like to leave some nori in a clip for the day for the fish to graze on as well as the live rock and algae provide some food.

seems like Angels been wonderin around the tank more today. but still no appetite...

Hopefully it is still gettin used to the new digs. Just give it a lil more time and it'll pull out of it. When you start to see the ribs and the fish becomes compressed you have a problem.

If you can find some Kent Garlic Extreme, put a little bit on the food and see if that will eat then. This stuff has worked for me on many occasions. Also benefical to fish with ich..
Good Luck..
