i saved him now he wont eat

[shades251]

So I stopped in the lfs a few days ago and they had a Spinny box puffed ( my wife loves them) well she just had to have him. Long story short he is in my 90 now. Well the next morning he had broke out in ich, my cleaner warres went to work, I added kick-ich ( great stuff BTW ). The ich has cleared up and now all he does is hide. He comes out maybe 2 hours a day and will not eat I have tried everything I know to do. Can anyone help me make him eat

You can try soaking his food in garlic to entice him to eat... But are we talking about a boxfish or a puffer?

With that fish,you may have to give him some LIVE food.Ghost shrimp to start and see if he'll eat em.Even better would be to find some mollies that have been converted to saltwater and are dropping fry.

Out of the Spinny Boxes I've seen come through Bermuda,I've not seen one yet that would eat anything BUT live foods.

They love ghost shrimp & feeder guppies. To can put them both to salt water slowly & they will live in the tank for some time.
