I have another CBB in my large tank that ate mysis pretty soon after getting him. I was more so wondering how long newly shipped in fish (from the ocean to a tank) took on average to start eating frozen/pellet foods. Anyone know the average of how many newly shipped in fish survive the first few days/weeks of tank life compared to how many don't?

Have you read From the Ocean to Aquarium - The Global Trade in Marine Ornamental Species? It gives a lot of quantitative data on the survival rates and numbers of imported marine fish and inverts... google search the name or try this link:
