    He hasnt been eating much, if anything really. Its belle area is really sunken in. I left some seaweed in there for him, macro, etc. Wont eat it.

    Tonight I got home and he has a white stripe on his side, and a brownish area above it.. I read somewhere they like brocoli so I have a peice in there for him.

    Should I expect a dead tang in the morning?

    Hes been in there 3 days or so, He looked awsome at the store. And did shortly after I got him home, imediatly went to pecking rocks n such.

    Theres plenty of hiding spots for him, so its very hard to get a pic of him. Lights are off so he's hiding. I just put more seaweed in the tank for him. Now its gone? Maybe he carried it off.

    He did eat a few flakes today, But no where near enough. And I tried garlic on the seaweed, no dice.

    i tried the garlic with my CBB and that didn't work it took him almost a week til he started eating but would only eat brine which has no nutrition.

    i feed once a week with omega one flake food now and it is very nutritious and high in HUFA's for the fish's health

    Im using the number two formula. I guess I will see what comes of it in the morning. I will leave the broccoli in there for him to hopefully peck at
