force feeding your fish

[contender]

i remember my brother had a problem with his RBPs. and he eventually force fed one of them that wasnt eating.

anyone ever done this with your fish?

 

[guppy]

Never had to. Never lost one to starvation either.

No never had to either ! All the fish i've kept have all been greedy little B******S

i have lost some angels *pomacanthus genus* due to starvation.
though i could not force feed them

starving them would have worked better than forcefeeding, especially in that case

What were you trying to feed them?

 

[bluedempsey]

What were you trying to feed them?

pretty much everything and anything live sponge, mega marine angel formula,
krill, brine the list goes on

 

[guppy]

Oh, marine angels. I wonder if they had been collected with cyanide solution.

it's a hit or a miss
u never know
it's actually fairly common for a marine angel to never except food

thanks for the input all.

what would you think the downside of a force feed be? added stress perhaps?
