I bought a new Dat from my lfs and I understand it may be stressed but its stomach is looking a little sunken in and I understand they need to be fed alot while theyre little (hes about 3 inches). I'm trying everything from freeze dried krill and pellets to feeder fish he just wont eat and im worried. any suggestions?
 
its been one day, let him get settled into the tank first, he should shart eating in another day or 2
 
let it settle in.
dats are usually like that. i remember when i bought my first one and it wouldn't eat at first, but after 3 days or so it became a pig and started eating anything in sight.
 
I know its only been one day but his bellies already sinking in like the pet store didnt feed him for like a day or two before I bought him
 
well you bought him for a day which is making him still stressed to his new tank so call you can do is wait. but having a few extra feeders in there he'll munch on them when he gets hungry
 
success i saw him eat a feeder!
