Bolivian Ram?

[gsbrawley]

Adopted this fish from a friend. Just wanted to confirm it's a Bolivian Ram?

If so, should I be concern about his lack of color (it's been 4 days since introducing him to my tank). All the levels should be great for him, assuming it's a Bolivian.

Bolivian ram yes!
Looks hungry...

He will barely eat...

I've tried spot feeding everything I have, flakes, Pellets, Brine Shrimp, Blood Worm. He'll take a bite or two and lose interest.

I have only kept GBR before.
It is rough when they won't eat.
It opens the door to disaster.

Are you feeding frozen? Have you seen his poo at all?

Yea, they are both frozen. I've been looking, but haven't saw anything.

May want to try a parasite med if he won't eat after a week?? Leave only the room light on for feedings?? He's probably just stressed to the max. Looks washed out a bit.

Long story short, he's already went through an entire dosing cycle of one (API Genera Cure). It's actually over today, when I do my water change. Hopefully things will improve over the Weekend, when I can monitor him more closely. Thanks for all the advice.

Update: He ate a significant amount this evening. No urgency, just kind of moved around slowly and ate for a solid 4 or 5 minutes. (I over fed in hopes he would).

Let's hope it was just stress, and he's starting to settle in.
