Singapore Angel isn't eating

bumperbeetle · Jul 18, 2015

Hello. I recently brought home a 4" Singapore Angel fish. Very happy with it! Its still a little skittish, runs and hides when we come in the room. Its good and fat, active, curious and such....but I am not comfortable with how little it appears to be eating. Is there anything anyone can suggest I try that is sure to draw it out to chow down?? Ive tried mysis, brine, krill, shrimp, seaweed strips (red, green, and purple), even a small peice of banana as I read somewhere that they like it. Yep....param's, temp, and salinity are all good and its in a QT tank. Thanks in advance!

Ive tried a few different places, but havent had much luck in finding live black worms. Ive also heard they like blood worms, but cant find any of those either...Will definately keep looking though! Thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated.

Order them online, it's what I do. Cheaper but only buy what you can feed in 1-2 weeks. Keep refrigerated. After one week, rinse with very cold water and drain nastiness to keep them well.
