I've been having a weird problem with new fish being too stupid to eat.
I bought a juvenile sailfin tang and high fin cardinal together. Neither would eat and both were dead in 4 days. I found the tang, so i brought him back, got store credit and bought a bigger Sopas Tang. He seems like he might be eating if something falls in front of his face and he actually sees it in time and thinks about possibly trying to get it, but it's been days and I still can't go near the tank without him freaking out and hiding. So while the other fish are going to the top of the water or swimming after falling food, he's either hiding or not paying attention. I also tried both red and green nori on a veggie clip and my cleaner wrasse is more interested in that than the tang is. I've got rods food, two kinds of sinking pellets and flake food. I've soaked in garlic too.
So now what?
