Flagfin angel not eating

[crox99]

I got a flagfin angel a week ago and he hasn't touch any food. I know that they are to keep and get them to eat but he goes after frozen and pellets but he won't eat them. Any help is appreciated. Also if there are any experts in the area I won't mind giving the fish away. Thanks.

Try some live food

Try soaking the pellets in garlic. That's how I got my Swallowtails to eat pellets.

I've been using Brightwell AngeLixir since I got him but it's not helping either.

Hi JP
I would try the frozen clams on the half shell and the Hikari Spirulina Brine Shrimp cubes. Was it eating at the store. I personally don't find Flagfin angels an expert fish. Once eating they usually are no different from any other type of fish. Gl

one of my favorite fish , .try some fresh live clams on the half, they love it

Do you have it in a reef?

I would try the clam idea that Andy suggested. Also, buy some live black worms to get them eating.

Yes I do but he hasn't pick on any of the corals.

Petlands usually has live blackworms - my fish go nuts over them.

I am not near a petland I tried the clam and the brine with no luck. I am giving up on him.
