Default New fish not eating!

When I bought my young pair of orange skunks, they would not eat either.

Someone mentioned about soaking flakes first. I went a little further. Mixed a couple different flakes, some frozen brine, algae from the tank, mushed up Hakari Marine "A" pellets, water, selcon and vita-chem. All are not needed, thats just what I used.

Minced it all in the wife,s blender, :eek: , kept some out to feed and froze the rest in a flat tray. They ate it as soon as it hit the water and over time switched to normal foods. I still use the mixture, at times, to feed corals,sandbed and anyone wanting it.

Anywho, the general idea is to make it small and soaked first, in what ever is used. You could even try with the above mentioned flakes. Very good by the way.
