Thanks for the help guys..

Just finished my first TTM with this little hippo (rather than my usual Cupramine). I couldn't verify that he was eating anything but he seemed to be okay - not emaciated.

Tried all my "tricks" that entice other tangs to eat but it didn't work with this hippo.

Today I finally tried shredding a piece of shrimp from the freezer on a cheese grater - the small holes.

He devoured it....it's a start!!!!

Thanks again everybody.
