dwarf angel question

tech1 · 09-08-2002, 10:35 AM

Hello.

How can you get angels to eat? A friend of mine has a bicolor and flame. I was thinking about getting them from him. They arrived from ffexpress thursday evening and seaweed was put out for them close to the top of the tank sat. One of them swam close by it but never touched it. Any ideas? thanks

Live brine, mysis shrimp are hard for fish to resist. Try variety of frozen marine foods and some good flake too. Do you have any other fish in the tank? Seeing other fish swarm over food is one of the best ways to coax shy fish to eat.

My dwarf angels in my 120 and 180 both love flake food and chow down on mysis shrimp and enriched frozen brine. My Potters in the 180 grazes all day long but loves the mysis and flake food. I use spirulina flake and a couple of other flake varieties.
