I think my FoxFace is not eating...

I think he may need a balanced diet not just seaweed

What would be the best for a balanced diet, the fish store that I talked to informed me the seaweed and the pellet food would be good enough for him. If it’s not enough any ideas or suggestions would be good? Everything I found online does not give any good ideas on a diet just a list of foods he will eat.

I find that between the "Formula 1+2 pellets and Nori that is all you really need. Most foxface fish wont touch hair algae imo, I will also throw in some Mysis as well.

Ok well maybe I will try changing food to the “formula 1+2 pellets” and see or just buy more different foods for him.. Maybe he is just a picky eater..

I think you should start with mysis or other frozen food and train him taking pellets later

Ok thanks I will try that out and hope for the best for him. Im just concerned for him and the help I got from my L.P.S. I feel was not the best information I could get.
Is it also normal for him to be passing back and forth the way he does, all the ones I see in the pet stores and other people’s tanks they just gently drift along.
