Yellow assessor basslet

[Fakegolfnews]

Having trouble getting my new assessor basslet to eat. Anyone have any tricks or special food to try?

My assessor loves PE Calanus

Mine eats spirulina enriched brine and mysis. I also put a few drops of selcon on it and let it sit until it thaws.

The assessor hides behind the reef in a back corner. I squirt the food in the opposite direction, then toward the assessor. The other fish ultimately come back and outcompete the assessor.

It doesn’t gorge itself like my other fish. It probably also consumes pods. I see it out in the open in the morning when the lights are off.

Good luck with it. It’s not unusual for a new fish to fast for a while. It is still getting used to a new environment and may not be thinking about food, but safety right now.
