Angel Isn't Eating

[Andrew v.s wild]

I receantly just purchased a Lemon Peel Angel.
When i brought him home he was fine but lately
he stays in a corner of the tank. He doesnt eat anything i give to him.
Help?

[jrodriguez]

is he at least trying to nip at it, what are you feeding it and why dont you try using garlic with the mix of food

Ive tryed brine, flakes, pellets, and some weird algae sheet nothings worked

Looks like he has popeye, a bacterial infection.

These guys can be VERY difficult to get to eat. Many don't make it. Many will eat in the store, and then not at home. Mine took a couple of weeks - I've had him for about 3 months, and he's still a bit shy (in my 55). Eventually, I got him/her to eat that fatty mysis that CB Pets used to have. I think I've finally used it all up... Richard.

He seems to be swimming more and sometimes picks at the rocks and sand.
Just wondering what this popeye was?
