After putting the fox sea fish into the main tank for the first time, you can try to use hatched brine shrimp and spring fish roe mixed with small particles of meat fish food to try to open the mouth for feeding. A combination of these foods can provide a rich source of nutrients and help guide them to accept pellets.

When choosing fish food, the color of the pellets is best to be red, and choose small sizes. This kind of fish food is more likely to attract the attention of fox sea fish and is easier for them to accept. Within a few days, most foxtail fish will begin eating pellet feed.
