Pajama Cardinal
I got a pajama cardinal a few days ago and was wondering what to feed it. The LFS said they feed it mysis and I have tried that but it doesnt go after the food like the other fishes. I then tried to feed with my premade blended sea food and it doesnt want to eat. I figered I would give it more time and perhaps hunger will get the better of him and he will eat. I have noticed that he is a little more active at night (I know that bangaii cardinal are nocturnal) so perhaps I can try feeding a little when the lights out? Any help is as usual appreciated!

My orbic cardinal doesn't go all out for the food when I'm feeding either. They're night hunters (hence the big eyes), and I've seen mine actively hunt pods at night. When I feed, I see him go to the bottom and swish the food up with his fins and eat it. He also likes to chase it down. The one thing he does go all out for is when I feed a little Prime Reef flake soaked in water in the morning. He comes right up to the turkey baster and sucks the food out LOL. Oh, and that's before the lights come on.
