Haven't seen my flame angel eat yet
I got him on Friday.
Every time I feed the tank, he doesn't eat anything. What should I do? |

It might still be acclimating, and there might be enough live food (small animals, algae, etc) in the tank to keep it fed for a bit. I wouldn't worry, but more interesting foods might help, depending on what's being added.

You can try some live brine shrimp to get its appetite going. Although you should note they need a diet dominated by marine algae. I feed my angel with algae sheets clipped on a rock. Grazes it all day.
Do you have a lot of algae on your rocks you see it grazing on?

I have tried feeding formula 1 flake food, spectrum sinking pellets, algae sheets on a clip, and mysis shrimp.
It hasn't touched any of it. |

Can you get LIVE brine shrimp near you? What about grazing on your rock?

Personally, I wouldn't worry. Those foods sound reasonable to me, although I prefer feeding frozen foods. The fish is probably not that hungry yet.
