How much your scribble angel eats a day ?

[blackpuma]

My 4 inch scribble eats up to 30 hikari marine A pellets a day. Is this normal for a 4 inch scribble angel ?

The fish always ask for food when I go near the tank.

mine even nip my hand when i put it in. as i hand feed them. together with a powder black and queen angel, they eat like around 18 cube of mysis a day, he can finish 3 cube per feeding, and i feed like 3 time a day.

Thanks,

So the food consumption of the scribble can be considered normal

I bought a scribble angel about 2 weeks ago.

Till now, it is still not feeding.

Please tell me how to get the fish to feed and what should I feed it other than pellets.

I find keeping new fish in a small tank first helps to train it to eat earlier, since it will always have direct contact to the food, and no competition. Also, if i get it from the LFS, and the LFS could show that it is feeding already, then i will get the same food that the LFS feeds the fish, and feed it the same food, and slowly introduce other food.
