In one of my tanks I got a Jack Dempsey and a Red Devil. First I had a Jack Dempsey alone in there, then I introduced a Red Devil into the tank, Jack Dempsey was the dominant one as he was there first and was larger in size. Then I got that Butti from the store (still remember him?), he was the largest one and came in and whooped everyones ass. Jack Dempsey was scared of the Butti and was hiding most of the time, Devil did the same for some time but then started swimming out and attacking the Butti.
When I removed the Butti few weeks later, well by then since Jack Dempsey was so stressed out he did not grow one bit and by now Red Devil outgrew the Jack Dempsey and now Devil is chasing JD.
Thing is, it has been two weeks since I removed the Butti but my Jack Dempsey still did not eat! At first I thought fine, let him starve.. he will give in and start eating. Second week, nothing.
Any idea what should I do?
