I moved my big Flowehorn (12"-- see pic below) from a 55g where he lived alone to a new home-- 350g tank-- about two weeks ago. He/she now lives with a few other big nasties, but he/she is still the King/Queen of the tank. So far all he/she is doing is digging up gravel and moving it around. Hasn''t really eaten anything. I know that fish eventually will eat when hungry, so this guy/gal has to come around sooner or later, but I'm a bit concerned b/c it has been so long with little or no food. Water parameters are fine. Anyone experience this? Thanks.

I just went through this when I moved mine to a 120 from a 55...
I think you have a He...My girl would'nt come up to the top to feed.
I didn't feed for a day and went and got Omega 1 pellets and she started to eat again.
 
maybe he/she is still adjusting to his/her new home
