I don't know if I am in the right spot but I am not sure where to go for this question.
I work at petco and recently bought a healthy little batfish from there. I knew he would die and it kills me to see fish captured only to die in this store. His body is a little smaller than a quarter. He is bright red and orange and very willing to eat. He like to chase bubbles at night.
Well here is my question: how do you get this batfish to eat something other than flake food? I tried pellets and he nibbled on a few but he goes CRAZY over flake food. Its so weird.
Also what should the flow be on the tank. I'm currently housing him in a bare bottom 20 gallon tank. I had a pump running but he hated it so I'm now using a little bubbler and hes pretty happy. There's no live rock currently because he might have ich from the store. I am doing daily water changes and siphoning excess food and today I will get a skimmer for sure. I got him just last night. He is very eager to eat and is a pretty lively little fish. Its weird because he doesn't seem stressed at all. What do?
