No appetite...

I have a powder blue that I got over the weekend that has little to no appetite and is starting to concern me... All foods I have attempted have garlic somewhere in the ingredients so that is not very enticing to him...

So far I have tried:

New Life Spectrum
Hikari seaweed extreme pellets
Ocean Nutrition Green Marine Algae
Rods Original Blend


If you have a powder blue, if you have seen one eat, if you have any suggestions/help/knowledge PLEASE HELP...Getting very concerned for my little guy...

The thing is, he swims around all crazy when the food gets dropped in (like all the other fish) but then he doesnt eat (unlike the other fish) so I'm totally confused... I know he knows the food is there...just wondering why he isnt chowin down with the rest of them

The store makes up their own mix of everything and feed to everybody...Not 100% what all is in it though. I will be calling them tomorrow though.

Does anyone think it would be a bad idea to leave an algae sheet in there over night? Just in case he may want to niblle on it?
