Default Snowflake

I had a snowflake bordering on 3 feet that took 6 months off eating. Was active when food was out. Even bit at cocktail shrimp, but would eat nothing for about 6 months. At the time I was feeding the sharks in the tank a variety of whitefish, and squid, and he would not touch it. It wasn’t until I decided to grab some wild salmon at the grocery store to cube up and give it a try and he was back on eating. Ate two cubes of salmon, then was eating whitefish, squid, shrimp, anything pretty much again within a week . This was about 4 years ago and he’s still around today .

Thanks Nate.

That was the exact info I was searching for. I will keep trying to feed various foods until he decides to eat.

Default No prob

No problem. Please also note that during that time he was being offered farmed salmon and I only bought the wild salmon on a whim as it was 50% off at the time. After that time he also took a strong liking to cut up octopus arms as well.
