how long has he been in the tank? Did you see him eat before you bought him?

Sometimes a fish won't eat for a little while after being introduced. was it fresh seaweed or dried? I might try a bit of fresh romaine to see if he just he would eat that. are there other fish eating the food? are you using a clip for the seaweed?

basically tell me more about the setup I'm just guessing

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

He has been in the tank about 1 week now... i bought him online so i never had a chance to see him eating. i feed him dried seaweed. Should i try some fresh lettuce. I am using a tring and tight it to a seaweed clip and put it in the tank so thats way i dont have to put my hand into the water. He eats krill sometimes. Other fishes are fine, eating well

How are you feeding the seaweed? I noticed both my tangs wouldnt eat out of it in the clip on the wall of my tank but as soon as i tied it to a rock they were all over it.
