Hello,

I just bought two fish (a yellow longnosed butterfly and a blue tang) a few days ago, and I saw them eating mysis at the LFS, but once I took them home, they haven't been eating. I will see them nibble at the rocks, but that's about it. They are both looking healthy and swimming around a lot, but I am still concerned.

One more thing, although my tang has been looking healthy, it seems that one of his eyes has something white in it... I don't think it is ich, because it's not all over his body... I will try to take a picture.

I would appreciate any advice you could give me.
Thanks!
 
Some stores run copper in their tanks to suppress diseases. Try soaking the mysis in garlic...Helps with getting finicky fish to eat.
 
Wild fish commonly contract eye flukes in the COC. Once you've determined that's what it is, a properly set up FW dip will solve the problem.
