Greg, nice little fish, did you get the bangaii from Jl? If so I have the same captive bred but from batch 2 which I took the challenge of raising myself. They started off tiny but are growing quickly, I got 2 and they were fighting but now paired....

Your clown might be use to pellets if it's captive bred but they should start eating within the week.

Good that you're params are back to where they should be, my alk is sitting at the same as yours which is alittle higher than I want it, gonna try to drop it to 9.

How are the sps frags? Are they growing?

Chris, all the dudes came from J&L, so maybe the same batch as yours
Definately spending more time in the sump room right now

Things are looking up
Brine was spat out today, but now the Clown and both PJs are eating blood worms
I'll give the Bangaii another try tonight with some garlic flake

Bangaii is still not eating
Today I tried some garlic soaked ( Brightwell garlic power ) mysis, bloodworms and fortified brine shrimp
The PJs and the clown loved all of it

I went to J&L and most, but not all, of their's are eating
If this dude doesn't eat tomorrow morning, I'll have to take him back and get one of the ones that are

I don't want to stress him out with another move, but Jeff has told me to bring him back
Poor little dude

Did you ask Jeff exactly what the Bangaii was being fed at the shop? I find that feeding the exact same thing, at the exact same time as what the store did, and in the same manner, can really help to get fussy eaters eating.

I've been feeding the same mysis, bloodworms, vitamins and garlic that they use
I watched them feed it last night and a few of their bangaii didn't eat it, but the rest pigged it all down
Today my PJs and clown ate it all again, but the bangaii ignored all of it
I hate to do it, but he's goin' back today

any chance he's getting bullied or being stressed by anything?
