Coral Beauty and Fire Fish Still Barely Eating

[rad1687]

Its been 2 weeks and both look thin. I've tried pellets, a frozen blend that has tons of stuff, frozen baby brine, and they don't even go for it. What can i do?!?

 

[Behrmon]

Any other "symptoms"?, Did the Mandarin have ich? did it spread?

 

[rad1687]

The mandarin did not, but the coral beauty has 1 white growth on a pectoral fin, but nothing else.

 

[Behrmon]

Can you list your water params & other inhabitants?

 

[rad1687]

I don't have any test kits, but I did a 35% water change just before adding the new fish. The other inhabitants are 2 o. clownfish, a peppermint ship, some snails, and some hermits.

Def want to get your water tested ASAP, do you know the salinity??

How bout' the basics? What the temp at?

 

[rad1687]

Unsure of salinity?
Do you have anything to check SG?
Make sure you get that water checked pronto.
As for feeding a Coral Beauty.I have one in QT that was being really finicky.
I tried everything and it turns out that simple flake food was the answer.I soak it in Selcon for a little while to boost the nutitional value some.The fish will also pick at the frozen cubes for Angels with sponge.
