Anemone Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 hi all my sunburst isnt eating. i've only seen it eating a couple pieces of frozen brineshrimp yesterday. (got the fish on sat from SL) its not hiding a lot. comes out into the open every now n then. only hides when i get too close with my face or fingers. anybody got their sunburst feeding properly? let me know how u did it. frozen brineshrimp mixed with live? will it work? jon.

To get picky anthias eating.. I think the best bet is zooplankton from PR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR is paradiz reef rite? wats the addy? is it within walking dist from lavender MRT? jon. Dt contain phytoplankton if i am not wrong.... Nah they can't be fed to sunburst, what they require is zooplankton( a bigger form of plankton that is eaten by lots of fishes).... Yes pr is paradiz reef.... walking distance from boon keng MRT station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightningstrike Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 feeding cyclopeeze might do the trick........ but IMO, sunburst anthias is the most stubborn of the lot of anthias.

DeepBlue Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 my sunburst started eating the golden fish eggs(frozen) ones I bought from Reborn...after that it is competing for food with the other fishes liaoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member danano Posted March 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted March 30, 2004 Feed them live BBS. I hatch them every other day. On other days, I try all other types of food. They love live BBS, IME. I've had a pair for about a month now and both are doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dispar_Anthias Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Seriously... frozen zoopankton is the best bet..... I have tried zoo, cyclopeeze, bbs, frozen bbs, home made food by a reefer and even fish egg......... Still picky anthias start to feed on my zoos first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
