Pain in the Anthias

I dropped in some newly hatched brine this morning. Hard to tell if she was
eating or not since those critters are so small. Looked like she took a few
gulps though. I'll watch and see.

Speaking of hatching brine... should I put them in another aquarium to grow
larger before feeding them? I know people hatch them and directly feed but
it seems like the fish go nuts chasing dots around. Hardly seems worth the
effort (although I'm no fish).

Thanks for the help guys. I'll keep working on her.

I've tried mysis (which the pet store said she was eating there),
seaweed, "Frozen Emerald Entree" which is zooplankton and a bunch of
greens mixed up and I've tried flake food.

Forget the flake food. Fenner states that these guys eat fine, meaty
foods. In the wild, they take crustaceans, fish eggs, and larvae. He says
that you may have to use live foods like live brine shrimp to get the fish
started eating. They don't eat greens. Fenner says that brine shrimp isn't
sufficient as a steady diet.
