HELP with Jardini!

[Gobrian44]

so i moved the fish yesterday and figured since they were a bit scared i would toss in some feeders so they could eat when they wanted too. The dats ate a few but the jar didnt really go for them. This morning i see the jar staying towards the bottom of the tank more and every once in a while he seems to have like a twitch or something. ate some beef heart though. Any ideas? could he just be a little shaken form the move? before the feeders were added he was fine.

THANKS!

First, I'd reconsider the diet and scrap feeders and beef heart. Aro's do far better (with less risk to their health) on super worms, market prawn, tilapia, pellets, etc.

If the water parameters are similar in the new tank to the old, the fish should be fine. Aro's are some of the hardiest fish in the trade. Maybe throw some aquarium salt to boost slime coat production and keep traffic around the aquarium to a minimum. I'd recommend getting those feeders out of there, too.

yeah beef heart and feeders are a rare treat feeders once a month maybe and beefheart once a week. I will try and pick up some shrimp. the params are the same he is 12"+. But maybe the hardness/ ph of the water is different cuz the other fish seem to be a little sluggish as well....
