flame problem...

[reefgeek]

Flame angel....

Was quarantined, did OK for about 3 weeks, since has stopped eating, and looks like a skinny puppy.... Getting very emaciated.... Any hints on different foods tricks.... I am using garlic, tried lots of different foods, and wont take anything... Shows some interest but wont consume... Ive heard these guys go on hunger strikes, but this is crazy... He might have to go hospital if I can get him

Thanks for the help in advance..

i would say just keep using the Garlic. what kind are you using ?? they say that "garlic extreme" has a much stronger smell to the fish than regular clove garlic.

I have Garlic Extreme and it does smell way stronger then just a crushed head of garlic.

i agreee Shad, when i open the bottle .... BAM stand back !!

Yep using Garlic extreme....

Guy just wont eat, and hes looking pretty sad... Im afraid hes gonna check out... We'll see tomorrow when I get home from work.

have you ruled out cyanide poisoning? flame angels are often collected in areas where cyanide is still used on occasion, altho it's not SUPPOSED to be. the symptoms and timeframe sounds about right.

just a thought...

Thats the road I was taking.... you dont happen to have any amyl nitrate for fishes do ya ?

Lemme go get some granny for ya.... and make sure your fish doesn't take any Viagra.
