Topic: Feeding Anthias Posted: November 11 2006 at 4:10pm |
I bought a dispar anthias thursday, it still hasn't eaten. From what I've read, it needs to be fed a couple times a day. Will it be okay until it decides to finally eat? And also, how to I keep it satisfied without overfeeding my tank?

My Dispar and Bartletts love flake and Spectrum pellets, just feed small amounts many times. It may take almost a week before it comes out and feels comfortable in its new home. They are very shy, timid fish.

Also if you noticed frayed fins, there might be a tankmate that is harassing it.

What are you feeding it now? It just might be picky w/ the foods that are being offered.

Your tank wasn't ready for that fish.

I'm feeding frozen brine, and some flake. Nothing is harrassing it though, it looks just fine, and it will come out for a few seconds but then it darts back in. I even tried a little garlic tonight, which got it anxious but it still didn't want to come out.
Care to elaborate Mark? Nothing I have read has said that the tank had to be mature for this fish.
