My 10-year-old daughter and I just set up a new 10-gal. tank for our 1 1/2-year-old Fantail (Lucky) and we decided to add a companion for him - a Black Moor named Charm.
The tank is cycled and it's only been a few days since we got Charm. The problem is that Charm will not compete for fish food and so he's not getting fed. He just hangs out around the bottom and the tank and when I feed them he doesn't make any effort to get food. In the meantime Lucky speeds around the tank eating all the food.
The Black Moor looks healthy, but just is seemingly disinterested in eating. Should I give him a few more days for him to get more aggressive and start eating or should I just return him now to the pet store? I don't want him to die from starvation.
Any ideas?
