Makes me miss the mated pair I once had in my fish only system. They were the perfect couple...until the female went on a carpet surfin expedition and never returned!
Eventually I'll have another pair...but for now I'm content to keep my single percula.Besides I believe he is still mourning the loss of his mate.
it may take the new fish a few days, a week before he eats.
I feed my bloodworms and forzen brine (has vitiments of some sort added).
what are you feeding them other than shrimp pelletts?
