None of your business!
Five day's ago...I got a Carpintis cichlid (2 inches) and hes is not eating!! I tried giving him flakes,brine shrimp,bloodworms,and pellets. and he still isn't eating? The first day I got him I gave him a little bit of brine shrimp and he only ate 1 or 2...the next day he didn't even bother checking it out.???? Are these fish just picky? or is he stressed out? Please repy!!!!
 
what size tank is he in and with what tankmates? if he is in with other aggressive tankmates they could be stressing him into not eating, also what are your water parameters and does his poo look normal or is it white/clear/stringy?
