Hello, I got him last wednesday(today is tuesday) and he hasnt been eating since. I though giving him 6 days would be plenty of time before I asked you guys. So, he is in a 29g with 3 barbs, 3 danios, 3 skunk botias, a lil bumblebee cat and an opaline gourami. I am sure that there is no aggressive going on towards any of these fish and my butterfly fish. I tried feeding flakes, freeze dried:shrimp,tubifex, and bloodworms. He has not shown any interest towards any of the foods. I even tried medium sized crickets for the heck of it. Does he still need time getting used to the new tank or what? Are they slow starters? And he looks healthy, and stays on the top in corners near plants. The fish is just a lilttle skinny, thats why im getting a bit worried. Any suggestions?
