Anthias won’t eat ?!

[Bboyer180]

My purple queen anthias hasn't eaten at all since we got her either Wednesday or Thursday. We have been feeding mysis shrimp and have put it right by her and she just ignores it. What should I do?

My other anthias eats the mysis shrimp just fine?

Separate non-eating fish, if possible, to eliminate potential for stress from bullying. Fish can behave differently. Live food can help stimulate appetite or feeding instinct. Need to get the fish back on track and it will be eating mysis like the rest eventually.

Be warned. You need to feed Antias like 5x per day to keep them alive. An Antias that does not eat is really tough. You need to try ANY food you can quickly, as they go downhill very fast.
