I've had six platies in my 75g tank since Sunday night. Well, actually it appears to be 7 now as there is the tiniest little 7th fish now swimming around.
I waited 24 hours and tried to feed them last night with no luck. At first I put some small pellets in, not realizing that they would be too big.
Then I crumbled some flakes that were largely ignored.
Tonight, I purchased some seaweed and some frozen omnivore food. The seemed to pick a little at the omnivore cube, but have completely ignored the seaweed clip.
There are droppings all over, so the must be eating something, but I haven't really seen it.
Am I doing anything incorrectly/is this unusual.
On the bright side, the Tetra Safestart seems to be working as the ammonia levels have not increased at all, despite the fact that I left the uneaten flakes in the tank overnight.
Thanks for your help!
