Leopard Wrasse

[Rsandry]

Hi all,
I purchased a Lepoard Wrasse last week (a fish I have always wanted) and I had read that they can be difficult to get to eat. So I made sure he was eating at the LFS (Mysis) before I took him but so far no luck in my tank.... He is fat and healthy but somewhat reclusive. I have not seen any other fish bother him.

Any suggestions to get him started?
I have tried: Flake, Pellets, Mysis...
Ideas welcome...

If you can get live blackworms. That worked great for me.

LRS Fish Frenzy. I couldn't get my leopard to eat anything. I had purchased LRS Herbivore Frenzy because thats all my LFS had at the time. When I went back after they received a shipment I picked up the Fish Frenzy because I have tried it before. Well right when I got home I threw in some Fish Frenzy in the tank and right away my small leopard started attacking the food. Now she grabs whatever she can. She grabs the biggest pieces out of her tank mates mouths and doesn't care. This stuff is amazing!

Is he in QT?

Mine eats Copepods, if he isn't eating yet don't get too worried

Thx for the info jgarza, I will try the fish frenzy out...

He is in my main display (Red Sea Reefer 350) and I only see he a couple times a days, hides in the rock work/sand otherwise...
