Kole Tank won't eat

Jason McK · #1 09-03-2005, 12:45 AM

I've tried everything.
Nori, Purple Algae, Brine, Flake, Cyclope-eez, Misys. Even soaking all in garlic
He will pick at the LR and the glass but he is getting very thin. There is no sign of illness and he was very active.

Any help would be great

The stick on nibblers look like this:

I really wish more people would carry them. I usually just order a bunch from MOPS lately. I think I may possibly have seen them at King Ed's once, but not sure. If I had any at the moment I'd mail you one.

Well as soon as I got back from the LFS I think I lost him. I haven't seen the Kole in a couple of days and a fish that big just doesn't disappear. Man I haven't been having luck with fish lately.
I had my Midas Blenny jump and now this.

Crap

I am sorry to hear that you kole died.
This tang requires film algae as part of her diet.
You should keep the back of your tank 'dirty' and also place some smooth stone in a pile in the back of your tank as well. Film algae grow there as well as the pile acts as a home for pods.

That's too bad J.

Naesco, you've been in Vancouver too long, you're getting an accent.
