Yeah...I heard that too. Someone on this forum has a beautiful one. (I won't mention names.
) So I was hoping for some luck. I think if this one passes, I'll be certain to buy from a lfs instead of online. So long as I can get him to eat, I can treat him for about anything that might come along for the ride.I tried the Masstick, but I like your idea of going live. Perhaps the hubby and I should run to my lfs to see if they have any live things to feed. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks! I'm still hoping. From what I've read, so long as you can get them to eat, they are fairly hearty. It is the eating that can be the problem.
CBB are one of tougher fish to have. A fair bit of luck went into mine being successful. He’s the third try first from LFS started doing loop the loops right away didn’t last but 2 days 2nd lasted longer but faded away 3rd one I watched at LFS saw him eating pecking hunting in tank that with masstick mixing in frozen and a healthy pod population seems the winning combo.Yeah...I heard that too.

I’m looking to buy a 210-gallon fish aquarium; which will be used as a refugium. There are a few requirements: Must hold water; can never have held insects or reptiles; and I’m not interested in all the extra bells and whistles. I live near Tucson, so travel could be an issue. I can be contacted at 573*202*4971 or [email protected].
Ummm, no. I'm pretty content with what I've got. But come on up to an AZ Frag meeting sometime. We love to meet new people.
I was adding a dab of mysis shrimp/frozen food in his corner a few times a day. Then I mixed mysis shrimp with Masstick and stuck it in his corner. He started to peck at that. I'm wanting to find black worms if I can get the chance. I'm also still liking the clam idea. I think it has helped that he has watched the hawkfish grab the food around him. He still looks really skinny, but this is off to a good start.
Sweet! I would keep mixing the mysis with masstick till it’s second nature and over time see if adding just mysis triggers eating response. Great start excited for ya!
Well the cb and the hawkfish, who are both my newest fish, are the only fish who will eat out of my hands. The cb is looking healthier and is eating a bunch every day. I still think he needs to bulk up, but I'm now thinking he is going to make it through this. We named him "Bubba" because he likes shrimp. The hawkfish we named "Hawkeye" because we all lack imagination and are also a Marvel movie family. We opened up a clam on Sunday and they worked on that all day. I placed a clam in my other tank and the tangs went crazy for it. I found a new expensive delicacy.
