Finish the question,

so after a few days it's not eating , tried live feeders goldfish and Rosie reds, no interest , the first day it seemed to be interested in silversides tied to a fishing line, but no more . It's skinny compared to my other armatus ,but not emaciated . I did notice the next day my 5" datniod got a cloudy eye after I had the new armatus.
My rays are fine , as the other fish have clear eyes,

Have added salt to the water the last 3 changes

Sounds like the one u got from me hmmm.......that's weird.....I did some research and I read that they have been known to go on hunger strikes for weeks and then spontaneously eat like nothing ever happened how is the coloring? This never happened with me maybe u are not noticing it eat quarantine it throw feeders count how many feeders u have in the tank with him and if any disappeared u already know where they went

Mine goes on such fasts from time to time but he hasn't done it recently...Why do you have it sectioned off in the tank?
 
One of mine just started going on a fast today. Yesterday it was going crazy thinking I was going to feed it and today, I just fed them and it doesn't even care. It's actually just hanging out with the feeders in the bottom while the other one is catching them all over the place.
