I got a pygmy possum wrasse yesterday and would love to get him eating pellets. He had no interest in them. Also he was not interested in frozen food. I do not have many pods as my tank is new. Any suggestions?

I'd try to stock your tank/refugium with pods. I had luck with mine eating Calanus until he got used to my feeding schedule of frozen food. It didn't seem to take long, but it did take some diligence. ------------- It is possible that longing for something is actually better than having it. Satisfaction is the death of desire. |

| I had one of those in an established tank. I got rid of him when I took the tank down because I never saw him. I don't know if he ever at the frozen food I fed him but I doubt it. |

| I'm pretty lucky he isn't as timid as they normally are. He will stay out cruising around even when I'm up close to the tank. |
