angels not aeting at all

i got some new angles about 5or 6 days ago and
i am really worried that my new angels are not eating
i have given them a variety of foods even blood worms and only four out of the six eat
what should i do

 

Angels can be funny.
I have read of people watching their Angels starve to death with food floating around.
It is because they are fussy. They only seem to eat what they where given when small.

That being said there are a lot of breaders that feed them all the different food types to combat this.

They also need a few days to settle. It's all trial and error.

I'm also sure Veegal and Gert will be able to help. They breed the chappies


Good luck

 

Live food might be do the trick

Try some live food, if they see something small swimming around the tank that looks edible, their hunting instinct should kick in, and they will try and catch and eat it.

 

I would try to get some brine shrimp eggs and hatch them, live food usualy gets new picky fish to eat and is good for them too.

 

Good suggestion

Guppy Fry is always good.

 

where would i get brine shrimp
plus there is a problem with me going away for 3 weeks and have got some people in to feed them been training them for about 2 weeks now and it would take even longer to show them how to hatch brine shrimp
and feed that to the fish

 

Fish nook sell Brine Shrimp

 

U can get them from most decent LFS in CT.

 

Free live food.
I have a piece of carpet up against a step outside the house.
Under the carpet is soil, rotting leaves etc. I keep the carpet wet {sometimes}
but mainly after rain, I lift the carpet and find plenty earthworms from large to
very small in the soil. My fish {and ducks} love them.
