Hellooo,
i bought a Rhinopias Frondosa about 3 weeks ago and he has not eaten anything at all!
im really worried, he's about 5" long and i have him isolated atm, he was in a 130g with a volitans lion, niger trigger, hippo tang, zebra eel.
 
i've only just put him in isolation and put 10 feeder shrimp in with him, so far he hasnt touched any.
Can anyone please help me ? obviously i dont wont to lose him as its a lovely fish.
all params are fine, i have got him in hyposalinity just incase there is any parasites present, i've tried as much research as i can find but there isnt much on rhinopias's

Sorry, I have no experience with this fish but I did want to say that is one cool looking fish.

i sold him :/ he was gettin thin and wasnt eating with me, so i sold him to someone with a little more experience, i do believe he got him to eat wich is good, but at this stage i dont think i will get another one anytime soon, i will do at some point but im going to read up on them big time!
i got the same money i paid tho, i would of tried more but its unfair on the fish if i just let it waste away.

Agreed, Lois...it takes patience to get touchy fish to eat, and sometimes one simply needs a bit more experience as well as be in a place in life that affords the time to take such things on.
