Hey i got 3 aussie bass and one of them has not been eating for the last few days and just stays in the one spot any ideas?
 
are the others stressing him out?
turn off the light and make the tank dim and make sure they cant see you and see if they are attacking the other one
 
nah there all cool. he just sits in the same spot when everyone else is eating and when i put ffod right next to him he still odesnt eat. i am getting concerned as i really like bass and i would like to see him grow to his max size and live a happy life also he is only1-2"
 
have you tried a few different foods? it might also be sick this happened to a spangled perch of mine although it came to eat food then just spat out everything i offered it.
 
yeh i think its actually coz the jungle perch gets too excited when its feeding times and just as the bass wants to eat he comes and snatches everything
 
you could try feeding the others at the other end of the tank and give him a bit while they are eating
