My tank leaked so all my fish were in a big black bucket for around a month and a half+, all fish have been in my new tank now for around 2 weeks. My 8" ntt hasn't eaten since the day he was in black bucket so it's now been over 2 months. He's looking very weak, sunken belly, and very strangely he's swimming everywhere when normally he hides all day long, he shows no interest in food and looks very weak. Anyone have any ideas to get him eating again? I've tried all his favourites - prawns, massivores and bloodworms. Anyway to physically make him eat??

Thanks

Toss a few feeders in and if he does not go after them then we'll know something's wrong...Was this bucket heated the whole time?

Every other fish is fine, all other indos are back to eating, bucket was maintained at 27 degrees and ran with 2 fx5 filters, wasn't a small bucket it's for koi fish, so measured 1.2 metre diameter by 1ft high.

So best way is to separate him into a tank and put some feeders in?

Yes, if he doesn't eat feeders then there is a problem
