Hey guys! I’ve finally finished nearly 16 weeks of fallow (ich) and I’ve just added my first two new fish into my 40 gallon QT (fully cycled with a shrimp before hand, ammonia is 0, 30hrs post fish addition).
So it’s been over a day and I added one chromis and one lawnmower Blenny. They have a piece of dry rock with some chaeto (from DT) pushed into the middle and a fake plant to hide in. The chromis is a pig and eats everything.
The LMB hides in the rock all day and only comes out when no one is around. If I Put food in he hides and I can’t tell if he’s eating or not. I left him a piece of nori today but He either didn’t touch it or maybe nibbled it a little. I saw him eat pellets and herbivore mix with gusto in the fish shop beforehand. He’s NOT thin. No signs of disease on either and I’m NOT premedicating since my fish already had a month quarantine at customs.
What’s a good method to teach a LMB to eat while in quarantine? I have mysis, seafood mix, herbivore mix, pellets, Chorella flakes and green nori.
