forktail blenny not eating.

[xd]

i bought a forktail blenny like 3 days ago and i asked them to feed it at the store and it ate brine shrimp, but now in my tank he isnt eating and i have tryed to feed him mysis, formula one, and formula two but i have had no luck. all my other fish are fine, so im just wondering if i should go get som brine or just wait and see if he will start eating the mysis. I was thinking of buying some brine and mixing mysis with brine to see if he eats it that way then just stop adding brine to the mixture so he is only eating mysis. what do you think of that plan?

I think that sounds like a solid plan. The only thing that would make it better is if you added vitamins to the food mixture so that if he just picks at the brine, he is still getting some nutrition. Zoe, VitaChem, Vitamin C, and Selcon are all good vitamins.

ok thanks, and i want to add a possum wrasse to my tank, do you think it would be overstocked? its 30 gallons with about 30 pounds of liverock.
- 1 occ. clown fish
- 1 red spotted hawkfish
- 1 forktail blenny

Standard rule goes as 1 inch of fish per every 5 gallons... But that tends to be on the conservative side. With those four fish, I think you will be fine.
