It's not that he's refusing to eat I just don't think he has the courage to catch them yet. He was the only surviving fry who was running around free in the main tank so I moved him into a 1 gallon filtered nursery. He is 2 weeks old. He eats a lot when he's hungry but the last two days he's swimming around the bottom and whenever I feed crushed up flakes he doesn't eat them! He just stares at them, but I know he's hungry because one sank to the bottom and he started chasing it but he coulnt catch it so he continued swimming aimlessly around the bottom
I know he's hungry but as long as I feed him while he's around the bottom I think he's too scared to go up for food. How do I make him less scared? I tried turning the filter off and everything. Also my nursery tank is leaking so I'm getting a 2.5 gallon that he and his little snail buddy will be moved into, until he outgrows that where he WIL finally go in the main tank.
He's not quite big enough yet to put in the main tank for now even though he's two weeks old
