Banded Cat Shark not eating now for two days

[bcfd144]

Just wanted some advice. Not totally concerned yet, but she has not eaten for two days. She usually eats everyday, small pieces of squid. We have had her two months. Got her 5 days after she hatched. Started eating two days after that. Has always eaten till yesterday. Nothing then or today.

Any ideas.

tank perm are fine. All readings normal. Nothing new, nothing changed.

in my experience with sharks, I;ve noticed that they will sometimes go on a "fasting" period. I may be wrong. but my sharks tend to do it . they will eat for a week straight, than not eat for couple days. than go back to eating, I think its normal behavior . but like I said, I may be wrong.

Time will tell. She still is not eating, but still active and alive. Thanks and time will tell

Change feedings to every other day. Use vitamin dip and be sure iodine levels are optimal.

Sorry to hear. Have a pic of it?
Twitching sounds bacterial.

No tummy and gills were fine. Couldnt figure it out. We didnt take any pics of her after she passed. Wife buried her out back.
