How to feed a Harlequin tusk fish

[rp82]

I have a 4-5 inch Harlequin tusk fish that I added to my 90 gallon tank a week ago and he has not ate anything. I know that the 90 is too small but dont worry, I am only using it as a QT tank. He will eventually go into a
300 gallon. Any way He is in there with 2 Heniochus, but that is all. I ordered him online and when he arrived there was a leak in the bag and he was only in about an 2 inches of water. I drip acclimated him for about 3 hours and then put him in the tank. He is very active and swims around alot. I have tried to feed him brine, mysid, silversides, and krill. I have also thrown in some ghost shrimp but he did not eat. Any suggestions? How long can he go without food?

that is strange most Harlequins, like mine, are pigs. Keep trying I am sure he will eat eventually. You might want to try garlic zoa to attract him to the food. Good Luck

try some fresh shrimp or scallops from the grocery store, I usually soak the food in a cup of tank water with garlic and vitamins before feeding.
