Powder Blue not eating

[hwcheong]

Hi,

I got my PBT 2 days ago, I tried brine shrimp, pallet, henry food, it never eat. But it is very active in tank and keep eating algae from the glass and rock. Will it be a problem? Afraid it dun have enough food...

Maybe you can try to flood the tank with more food so that your PBT will learn to eat it.

Having some other fishes that are eating prepared food will also helps as sometimes they will monkey see and monkey do

Good luck.

But I normally keep it in Quarantine tank for them to learn how to eat before let them in my main tank. I afraid if I put in main tank, if it doesn't eat and I cannot get him out from there already.

In this case then flooding with food will help and obviously you need to clean out those uneaten food after that.

That's how I tempted my sohal to start eating.
