I feed mine Alage wafers and have used plant based food like Omega One floating Kelp Pellets and Hikari Cichlid Excel. Mine get an occasional pea but its main staple is pellet based foods. Ive tried romaine but since he never ate it as a young fish, he just wont touch it.

The temperature change may have stressed it out but likely wont kill him. But I would keep a close watch on him to make sure.

Ok thanks buddy. I actually have hikari algae wafers on hand that I feed to my cichlids for some veggie matter now and then. Mabye I could break some pieces off and feed to him. I really hope the temp doesnt affect him but theres not much I can do now. BTW if that pearsei in your profile pic is yours, its a really beautiful specimen!

UPDATE: The little guy is moving around found, although when I approach he runs back into his cave which seems completely normal

LOL. So i fed tonight and it would hide when it saw me, I would drop a sinking pellet it, it would go out and search and eat it then run back in the cave. Looking healthy although still scraped up. Possibly gonna rehome my Severum, Pearsi are so cool and unique, want to give him the space in the 110 to grow, he cant share the tank with the flowerhorn forever. Added some melafix to the 50 gallon to help with the healing process. Once it gets more brave I will get a pic for you guys.

Update for those interested: I rehomed the severum in my 110 and reintroduced the Pearsi to the tank. Noone is paying attention to him/her which is a good thing. I hope the pearsi hits a growth spurt in the bigger tank
