Well today things seem MUCH better. I am, however, experiencing a new problem. My PBT still only tepidly eats frozen and pellet food, like 'nibble nibble spit' kind eating. It took him over an hour to get through the mysis that I was feeding in QT. In the big tank, food doesn't last more than 5 seconds, so I'm relying on nori sheets to get him enough calories to gain weight. A 3 inch sheet could last him 6 hours in QT.

However, my giant hog of a cowfish, which I swear would swallow plastic if only he could bite a chunk off the turkey baster I clean the rocks with, took about 20 minutes to decide he also wanted to try Nori. He is a bottomless pit and he takes the entire sheet in two bites!

I have to replace it three times before the cowfish is full enough to let the tang anywhere near it!

I look at it as survival, if they are hungry enough they will eat.....

With time he will learn he needs to be a bit faster & compete for that food.

In theory, yes. Unfortunately, many of these fickle fish are more than happy to starve themselves to death while they wait for the perfect meal
