QuestionQUESTION: Hello I bought a leaf fish last week and it seems not to be eating. I feed my fish brine shrimp, earth worms, flakes, blood worms and live feeder guppies but I have never seen the leaf fish eat anything what is he feeding on? Thank you
ANSWER: Hello!
There are at least a dozen fish that can be called leaf fish.
If you could give me either the scientific name, or a picture of your fish, or even a picture off the internet of a fish that looks very similiar to yours, then I could help you.

QUESTION: scientific name Monocirrhus polyacanthus
AnswerIt sounds like you are doing everything right then, he must just be taking his time getting used to the tank.
They are ambush predators, so dangling an earthworm in front of his face with feeding tongs should be irresitable.
Just keep him happy, not too much noise around the tank, low current, and lots of plants.
