My Fish Is Not Feeding!

[marine123]

Hello,

I just got my first marine fish for my nano 100ltr and it is a FIJI DAMSEL FISH!!

I have some good quality marine pellets and he just puts them in his mouth and then spits them streight back out and i do not know wat to do please HELP!!!!

give it time. probably just settling in. call the LFS and see what he was eating before. also soaking the pellets until they are soft might help until he gets used to them as food.
all the best

Try mysid shrimp. SH

I always find live brine is good to get fish feeding, however it doesnt contain much neutritional value, so get it feeding and then move it onto something else mysis like SH suggested would be good.

a lot of fish wont take pellets til tehy are established and some never do, same with flake.
