Hey guys, about a week ago I got a rope fish, he was easily the most active in the tank when I went to pick one out. Well, since I have had him, i havent seen him eat or even move very much. I have tried dried bloodworms and tadpole/frog food (which is what the guy at LFS told me he fed bottom feeders.) Still no luck. I am worried that something is wrong, just not sure what. Temp is set to 80 and ph is a little high for my community tank. In the tank I have 1 betta, 5 red plattys, 1 red tip shark 5 guppies, the rope fish and some ghost shrimp. I was wondering if he is eating the ghost shrimp, but again he isnt very active anymore. He sits in the very back very bottom of the tank and doesnt move. My betta lays by him and he doesnt care. Please help!! I wasnt sure if I should go buy another (since they like groups of 2) or what to do. :(
