Skinny foxface

[ajiisss]

My fox face is becoming skinny he is eating good. All other fish also looks good..
Anything wrong? Or is it normal

You need to feed it high quality frozen foods several times daily. Feed it more

 

[JumboShrimp]

Agree. Feed it more. Throw everything at it— full variety, run the gamut of quality foods and Nori— just do it in small portions several times a day; not all at once where it rots in your tank without being eaten. Best wishes!

I feed my foxface 1 large sheet of nori a day. most of the nori is eaten by him. my Eblii angel and the hippo tang nibble the nori too, but not much. Of course foxface eats some the mysis and any other food I feed the other fish.
How old is your foxface and how long do you have it?

I was unable to watch the video before. Yes it is very skinny. I do not know what is wrong. You may want to ask your question in the fish diseases section, as his lateral line is showing.

The tank is incredibly clean. It simply looks like like the grazers don't have much to graze on.

For what it's worth, nori does not seem like much but you have to remember they are made to process it differently... just like a cow.

Feeding nori can be a crucial component to them putting on weight, not just protein. Example, my naso was struggling like yours, feeding a ton of frozen and pellets but kept loosing weight. I even had it isolated for two weeks to make it easy. As soon as I gave it constant nori it bulked up in just a few days. Some of this can do with how it affects all of their system health, not just "weight".

I feed my foxface and naso a sheet a day in addition to everything else.

I will start feeding nori regularly lets see if it recovers
