Getting a fish to eat

[Sharkbait whohaha]

I got this fish from one of the lps in my area on Sunday and it is in quarantine and hasn't eaten since I got it. Should I be considered or just give it time?

It's pretty normal for a fish like this to stop eating for a bit after moving tanks and especially in QT. Do you have any meds in the water at the moment? What foods have you tried?

I do have Fritz coppersafe in the water now just as a precaution and I've tried flake food, an assortment of frozen foods, and trying ghost shrimp.

I got my regal angel to eat using a combination of fresh clams, live sponge, and flake food.

You could also try live blackworms, baby brine shrimp, mussels, and roe.

Clams and sponge are usually my go-to for picky angels.... all those others are great ideas as well ^^^
