Try target feeding with a turkey baster. You may also want to try some high protein home made foods (recipe also in the FAQ thread).
I have Kent Marine Garlic Extreme, will that work? As far as a QT he is the only fish in a 55 gallon tank. He is about 3 inches and he will be moving into a 300 gallon when I get my floor reinforced. I do have a 30 gallon QT in which i use to treat my reef fish and also the puffer when I had bought him do to the fact that he had ick, should I put him back or since he is alone can I just leave him in the tank that he is in?
