Datnoid not eating

[Greg31]

I purchased a indo from a LFS Wednesday at about 3 inches. He is pretty stable but I cant get him to eat. He is in a 29g with 2 similar size mono peacock bass. I feed the bass frozen brine shrimp and frozen blood worms. I notice 0 aggression between the fish and there is plenty of food left floating around for the dat to eat.

He literally will not move though. He will just sit in his little hiding spot frozen all the time.

Any advice on what to do for this guy? I might resort to moving the bass into my 150g.

I would separate him in his own tank to see if there's any chance in behavior. Dat's like to be the boss of the tank and he prob doesn't feel secure yet with his tankmates. Grow him out a little in a separate tank and try reestablishing him with the pbass once he gets some size and confidence. gd luck
