is the fish eating?

 

[majiktrixx6604]

just the brown algae n he ate a lil fish food one n dats it

when you mentions that all your parameters are good can you elaborate on that. What is good? give details. Since Damsels are very hardy fish the could sometimes survive pretty harsh water conditions. On the other hand tha foxface is not.

i would give it back if you feel that everything is good with your tank. Even thou its a pretty hardy fish and since you said your water parameters are "good" then maybe its just the fish. Also be aware that foxface like a veggy diet. Maybe the flakes that you are feeding it is not doing it and since you have the tank not too long there might not be enough of alage in the tank for the fish to thrive off.
