singapore angel not eating

[pursuit2]

have had my singapore angel for a week he will not eat anything.
Please give suggestions.

Does he pick at the rock? How does he look? Water parameters would be a help to. Might want to add a little garlic extreme to the food and what are you trying to feed him?

If he's swimming around, acting normally, not breathing heavily, then he'll eat when he's good and hungry. I got a Majestic from my LFS two weeks ago. They gave him to me because he wasn't eating. I put him in my tank and he never hid for a minute, he started swimming around, normal breathing, but he didn't even pick at the rock, he showed no interest in eating. As long as he acted normally I knew it was just a matter of time, and sure enough, he started picking at the live rock. He didn't eat the brine/mysis that I give everybody else so I threw in an Angel formula cube and he went to town on it, and slowly he's starting to eat what I give the rest of the fish.
Like I said, if he's otherwise normal in all other respects, give him time.

You might want to try garlic guard or garlic xtreme...
If neither of those work, try a product by Seachem called Entice!
Good Luck!
