g. tile not eating after move

My g tile that i had to move from my apt is not eating... im really worred about him and wondering waht to do. he hasnt eatedn in prolly 2 weeks and is starting to look pale and kinda sickly.

Ive tried using garlic, but no luck... i'm thinking that if he doesnt start eating withing a week he's a gonner.

help plz.

That's normal after a move. It must have been a pretty rough trip. About all you can do is let him settle down again and tempt his tummy with yummy treats until he finally eats. You should also check everything very carefully to see what is different in this tank from the last one.

well its been 3 weeks today since the move and there is alot different about this tank...
size
there is only one hiding spot
size

i used gravel and an rock from his other setup trying to make it as close as it could be. since i dont know how long im gonna be here i didnt want to set up a large aquarium so he's still in the cooler i transported him in... which is prolly 25 gallons... I had thought about going and getting a 30 gallon fro walmart or a petstore and stting it up for him, but i hate to say it... its too expensive and too much hassle right now, and the petstore is closed when i get off of work and i work saturdays too.

ive been trying to feed him about once every other day to see if he wants food and ive gotten nothing out of him.

Im really starting to think i should just freeze him
