when ever i change the tank one of the mudskippers goes on a eating strike where he or she just wont eat for like a month this has happened alot but luckily most of the time its the largest one who seems to always be fat but now it is my newest one he has always been skinny but im worried he will starve to death so is there any way to get them eating again. by the way i feed them frozen brine shrimp.

I feed mine the smallest crickets next to the pinheads. It is a feeding frenzy!

Brine Shrimp? Not much nutritional values w/ BS.

Try FD or well thawed Fz krill halves/quarters on land. Even peeled prawns should work.

Once conditioned to your feeding methods, all should go well.

Spread out the food. DOnt underestimate the greed of dominant one over food. lol!
