Irwini (Megalodoras Uranoscopus)with separation anxiety

[Cabinetman 1]

I have had this guy with an Oxydoras Niger for about 3 months. He has been really doing well. Eating Tilapia and earthworms. Then I moved the Ripsaw yesterday to a new tank and he hasn't eaten and has redecorated the tank. Use to never move now move around away from food?!

My Irwini sulks a little after any disruption but will be back to normal after a few days.

Well now we are at day 5 without eating. He doesn't even act interested. Is there anything you guys would suggest? He was eating tilapia, earthworms, and some pellets. Thanks

Irwini don't take kindly to any change or intrusion in their tank. The stronger the change / the invasion, the longer they will sulk and stay off feed. Even up to several months. They can handle a month long fast easy.
