Oh, I have had him for 3 days and he WILL NOT EAT. Im getting worried. 2 days ago I moved him to my 55 gallon, which has been up for 6 months w/ nitrates at 20. I sucked up black worm w/ the syringe and put a ton right in front of him and he stared at them for a minute and swam off. The worms are just going to my 3 zebra loach. The tank has sand, tons of hiding places, decor, and plants, and theirs no reason he should be stressed. The only thing i can think of are my tiger barb, as the rest of my fish are passive, but they keep to themselves. Altogether in the tank I have the eel, 6 tiger barb, 3 zebra loach, a dalmation molly, rainbow shark, and thats it. Idk if the shark and barb are stressing him out cuz Ive been keeping an eye out and the fish are always calm and the shark hides all day. It is a peaceful tank so idk. What time do they usually eat? Do they only eat at night? I feed him around 7 right before turning the light off. Btw ph is at 7.6 and I did a 40% water change the day before getting him, using a ex70 aqueon filter with filters changed a week ago. I also have 2 bubble stones to keep oxygen up.
