My guy is still not eating. It has been just shy of 2 1/2 weeks. He ate the first day and thats it. He swims looking for food and digs his mouth to the sand but no chewing.avishay;3961046; said:Any update here? I have the same problem with a pair of flowers. I'm at the 4'th day of Metro treatment. Mine were eating quite good until they stopped about a week ago and I have seen long fecel.
BTW, did you have temp up?
Sweet!! Thats great news!Carne!;3962952; said:Great news! Seen the longest piece of brown crap in my tank. That means he is eating. I also just seen him take down 2 minnows aggressively
Time to beef him up and then get him on to prepared foods
In my hands he has starved for 2 weeks and 1 day. Prime/Metro+ for 7 of those days daily with 50% water changes and constand food in medium portions did it for me. Also lights have been off the entire time I started Metro+ to lower the stress level of movement outside of the tank
Yipee!

Thank you for the update. The fact he is eating is encouraging. I wish I could say the same. Mine look the same as before, they are burried most of the time. The male sarted loosing disk color in several spots - not good.Carne!;3974759; said:Sorry, I have been extremely busy. Not much to update. Last I heard is he is eating here and there. He will poop every 2 days or so. This leads me to believe he is not eating daily. I do fly home tonight and will have a visual update when I see him in person.
Any update on your Flower Rayavishay;3975949; said:Thank you for the update. The fact he is eating is encouraging. I wish I could say the same. Mine look the same as before, they are burried most of the time. The male sarted loosing disk color in several spots - not good.
I tried Ghost Shrimp and Black Worms for a long time. About a week ago I started seeing shells of the Ghost Shrimp and the numbers droping. Also seen his appetite pick up on BlackWorms.sbrodacz;3988353; said:Ghost shrimp and black worms seem to work really well for me with flowers.
