My fesate pair has significantly decreased eating, the female has never been much of an eater and the male is new( got him bout a month ago) They have showed some signs of breeding, ive increased water temp to 84 and have been doin 20% changes every few days. They have all but stopped eating, krill and cichlid gold?/ any ideas
 
how long has it been since their last big meal?

most if not all cichlids will not starve if there is food offered! so you should not worry too much they will eat enough notto die!

if you are still woried after i talked about the death of your fish!:D you can try garlic extract! it is the only appetite inducer that i have heard of! i dont kno whether it works or not! but shouldnt do any harm! and may help get them eating again!
 
The Garlic works when I am starving! LOL!
 
i put a female jag in with my male and they bred, they both have not even looked at food 4 over 2 weeks:cry:
