Thank you
You can buy tang formula foods that contain a variety of meats and veggies. You can also make your own to suit your fish's needs. Check out Beth's recipe here https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/127007/faqs-fish-diseases-treatments-quarantine-health-info#post_914889 This can be found in the Common Treatments FAQ located at the top of the Disease and Treatments board. Offer some other foods in addition to the algae. Sailfins are not very picky fish. He will start accepting other foods.

Spirulina brine? One is algae and one is an invert that has nutritional value when newly hatched. That won't sustain him though. I am very glad that he is accepting other foods. Plan your next food purchase. These have all been good choice suggestions for foods for you to choose from. See what your LFS carries. Sailfins are not picky fish. What size tank is this?
