well, what other fishes do you have in there? and how big is your queen? my queen feed 15min after putting in my tank and ate pellets since day1

[dieran_green]

wah!!! so lucky

My queen is abt a middle finger long

have a pair of flame and 2 pairs of clowns in the same tank

[w3ish3ng]

erm, not purely luck la, i think i was the first to choose the queen angel so got lots for me to choose from. flame angel, are they feeding? is the queen angel afraid of you? and how long is he not feeding?

[dieran_green]

both the flames are feeding already

no, i don't think its afriad of me but i think its still shy

I just got the queen on sat

so today is day 3

[w3ish3ng]

when you get to the tank, will he rush back to hide? or swiming as per normal? another way is dump food in front of him. sometime he will just take a bite.. but its still alright, guess by a few more day she will be eating

[dieran_green]

hmmmm

she don't rush to hide

rather she slowly swim away to hide

[w3ish3ng]

well, what i would recommand is that go stand in front of the tank get the food ready when it come out of hiding and started to swim around. dump the food near her

DG,

I m surprise u ask this question. U should have ask the LFS to feed the fish before purchasing!

What happen? Is the fish eating in the LFS in the 1st place?

I would recommend Henry's food, reefers has use it with excellent results. Its a potent blend, do feed sparingly. The Queen is a nice specimen, hope it survive.

If it is still a juvenile, why don't you place some Caulerpa. Juvenile Queens relish macroalgae, and this could be an alternative until he accepts pellet food.
