Hey guys
I recently bought a True Perc & it doesn't seem to be eating. I have tried Frozen Brineshrimp & Frozen Plankton. But all it does is put it in its mouth and then spits it back out. It hasn't eaten for like 4 days now and im getting worried. If anyone can help please let me know!

Thanks!

Try soaking the food in some garlic
I use Brightwell Garlic Power
You could also try Mysis and maybe even some small NLS pellets

what was the lfs feeding him?
also try a little coral frenzy or other similar food,the smell should get him the mood to eat.Then try to feed him after a minute.I use New Life Spectrum Thera A. It's a perfect size pellet and has garlic.

New Life Spectrum is the brand
I use the Thera+A with garlic

Coral frenzy is a good idea
Cyclop-eze may work too

Mine eats everything you and I feed ( except the plankton ), plus the cyclop-eze and even HBH super soft spirulina pellets
Just can't find anything he Won't eat :mrgreen:
