Hi everyone please help. My wife bought two African butterfly fish last week Saturday since then they have been doing great but about 3 or 4 days ago we noticed that 1 of them isn't eating and the other 1 eats very well. The 1 that isn't eating just swims up to the cricket and nudges it looks at and then leaves it its been going on like this for 3 to 4 days now. I'm going to try some frozen blood worms later. Any ideas as why it's not eat please help and thanks
 
Hi yes, it's a 110 liter tank and there's a spotted hoplo in and bristlenose and and a female betta and 4 golden apple snails in the tank
 
This is going to sound weird but maybe you have a fish that's a picky eater. I had a school of x-ray (pristella) tetras who refused to eat the new food I bought them.

Is he looking otherwise healthy? No scratching on decorations? No bloated belly? Lethargic? Etc...
 
He/she still looks good and healthy no scratches no other visible marks. I just fed them some blood worms it took a while but they both and some. I'm busy freezing the crickets I've got and maybe cut the ones that r too big?
