feeding a Sunburst Anthias

[lo7100]

I just bought a Sunburst Anthias and it won't eat anything. Any recommendation for the food I should try?

Thanks

what did it eat at the store you purchased it from?



Not a easy fish to keep, good luck

maybe going on hunger strike.. check if it has a cove under its stomach that means it hasn't been eating and will probably die

Mine goes after Mysis, Rod's Food and Pellets ...

I do agree with Dave (yourbed) ... it's not an easy fish to keep. Some do well ... some don't

Hrd to keep. Neds a large tank with plenty of swimming room. Anthias's are school fish. When they fully acclimate they do well if not, well i think you can guess what will happen. Allways make sure a fish is eating before you buy it.

Try some arti pods.

I actually disagree here. They are a fish that requires stable params (and I agree that they should be eating before you buy), but they don't school (or shoal). They primarily stay solitary in caves.
