SRC Member ytpmzy Posted December 18, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have notice that some people recommend asking the LFS to feed the fish before you purchase. I am just wondering if it is rude ? Have anyone tried it before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member asg Posted December 18, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 18, 2014 Can ask. But experience reefer knows the answer even before asking whether fish feeding or not liao... ah beng no, ng couple no, iwarna mostly no, TFC mostly yes... Other bros welcome to add in...

SRC Member RayL Posted December 18, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 18, 2014 TFC yes they hand feed pellets. Fishes are very well trained. Ng couple mostly no. Those leftover fishes in tank they feed mysis shrimp. AM also handfeed various pellets size, nori also. So well trained that my naso tang n algae blenny doesnt eat any frozen food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member kenyee Posted December 18, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 18, 2014 Sharing my experience thus far.. TFC ok to feed..ask AM ok to feed..ask LCK 201 ok to feed..ask Ah Beng u can ask them..depend on when the fish arrived, which tank the fish is put, what fish.. If u r free to feed, note that u try feed a bit (2-5 pellets) n monitor..do not throw too many as u just want to see if the fish feed, not pumping it fat for the LFS..I usually throw 1 pellet try upon given the green light.. Note that a fish feed in LFS doesn't mean it will feed in ur tank..the water & community might cause a stress & it will not feed..but a feeding fish in LFS is better than not feeding at all..if the fish peck at the glass is also a good sign of a feeding fish..after u purchase, the fish's future lie in ur care & luck liao.. cheers 2 Quote @ 291213 Updated video: Kenyee FOWLR http://m.youtube.com/my_videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwyk153 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 If a fish at the LFS swims to you and not hiding or swim away from you, is another good sign.
