What do they really like to eat ... just got one let me know

 

[marrone]

Feed them a meat diet of shrimp, Silver Sides and Formula I.

It good to check out a fish first before you buy it. After all you don't want to buy something only to find out later it's hard to keep or could eat your corals or inverts.

T.,mine ate everything! Chopped up silversides, prawns, mysis, frozen cube formula 1 & 2, seaweed, formula 1 & 2 pellets.
Nice fish! Which did you get, male or female?

BTW, I finally caught the gs maroon.

mine was picky at 1st it only wanted plankton... now he eats everything!!!

Cover the top of your tank of it will jump out. My female killed my male and went missing later that month. It dove out and I believe it is behind my tank as I don't see it in the rockwork- maybe its just organics now.

LOL thanks all ...
Morrone I did do my research thats why I boght a Blue Jaw ... he is just being a little pickey

Awibrandy Hope you are doing well ... yes he is a beautiful boy about 3" very nice fish. I was told they eat everything but he is a loittle shy ... you caught him thats great what did you do with him?

2slo its like you read my mind ... LOL he is being picky and timid ... my Hippo is being a pain ... its only been about 3 days ..

Reefer many thanks for the warning sorry about your fish .... yes the top is covered ...


One more thing I have The Trigger a flame hawk, Purple Tang 4", Hippo Taneg over 5", Mroone yellow stipe clown, Cleaner shrimp .... Looking for a smaller fish maybe Yello maybe Red .... any suggestions?

 

[Awibrandy]

T, I traded her for 2 smaller clarkie clownfish!!

I gather your maroon is not as bad as mine was in my tank!

T, how long have you had the BT? Remember most if not all these animals need time to adjust to their new environments.

You also have tangs in the tank with him that may be bullying him causing him to shy away even more..

Thanks yes I only have it a few days. I just like to know what they like ... There are two tangs Hippo 5" and of course the Purple Tang 4" ... the Hippo seems to be the bad guy hoping he backs off soon

 

[2slo4me]

lol try some plankton... good luck!!!

 

[MIKE NY]

when I had mine it would only eat mysis then slowly started to eat everything and yes they are very shy at first

 

[TNT125]

LOL I thought I lost him but turns out he found a whole in one of my rocks ... he doesn't come out much, but I guess I gotta let nature take its course ....

how big is he/she? what have you tried?

P.S. Be cautious what u throw in your tank because u don't want nitrates too high!
