Guest Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Venatus angel is one of the difficult angel to keep and prone to internal infection during shipping. Try to treat it with prazi gold which may help. Fish can usually live for about 2-4 week without food but it also depend on condition.

yeo99 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Not only venetus angel, butterfly is also very challenging to feed, even with mysis shrimps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at97515 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Most fishes can survive without food for about a month. Try to stimulate your fishes appetite with brine shrimps. it worked for me previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exomanor Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 i used seaweed with garlic to tempt my finicky fishes.. you could try that with your venustus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Caapora Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Suggest hyposalinity (@ specific gravity of 1.009) for lesser osmotic stress for the fish even if it continues to fast. Dim the lightings too. And soak your pellets with garlic to boost the fish's immunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
