Latest fish I have in quarantine:
CB Banggai (was eating like a monster in store)
Copperband Buttefly (was taking live brine pretty nicely)
CB Maroon Clown (mail order....figured it's a clown...will eat anything)
Ok, I have them in QT, and dropped salinity down to 1.008-1.009 (I do this to everyone now that my systems are ich-free). I'm feeding extra just to make sure they go through this transition well. I see them starting to not eat as much so....I start introducing the fail-safe foods. Now my CBB holds out for live blackworms. He attacks this stuff and if it's not the food he wants, he swims and waits for 2 mins hoping I drop in the blackworms. The he reluctantly pecks at the frozen stuff. The banggai used to gobble down the brine. Now he only takes one or two bites. He doesn't rush to it either. The maroon ignores flake and brine (doesn't seem to like blackworms either but maybe cause he's too small right now). Will only go crazy for the masago (capelin roe). I'm wondering if this is my doing. What do you guys think?
