Somebody dropped a Gummy Bear in my tank!!! (or actually, Frogfish advice needed!)

[LeeR]

In my tank i have a starry blennie, sexy shrimp, and a pepperment shrimp... the froggy doesnt show the least bit of intreset in anything other then pods and the silversides i feed it every 4 or so days.

moldrik - I have nothing in the tank apart from a gorg & some LPS corals.

mark - No problems so far other than difficulty feeding but then, it's only been 5/6 days since I got him.

machette - peppermint & sexy shrimps eh... How big are your sexy's? How long have been in the tank together?

I'd love to put my Sexy's into the Froggy's tank.

the sexys been in there forever and its a full grown sexy, with my old froggy i watched the sexy walk across the frogfish.

Maybe if I add something like that last in the tank might be the best way to go about it. Once everything else grows out of "edible" size.

I might chance it with some sexy's once he's trained on dead foods.

Meanwhile, I'm giving him a few days break before I try feeding again. This time I'll use an acrylic feeding stick.

oh no! That sucks

At least he's eating though... mine still hasn't eaten anything yet.

He's changed colour slightly though. From bright orange to a reddish colour.

I've tried brine shrimp, mysis, silversides, shrimp & even dace fish paste.

I've tried acrylic rods, skewers, by hand, free floating...

I've tried everyday something new, every day same thing & skipped a few days in between feeding attempts.

So far nothing has worked.

Any other suggestions for me to try & get him to eat?

How long do you need to wiggle food for before he bites?

He's possibly the most frustrating fish I've ever owned!
