I have a frontosa that hasnt ate in about 1 1/2 weeks and has a lil hump on his butt. but he swims around like hes happy. What u think it could be i read that bloat most the time kills fish within 2-3 days

Does it seem bloated? If so you can try Epsom Salt (It's different from aquarium salt, can get at Pharmacy). Maybe try to entice him with frozen brine shrimp or earthworms. If he eats it, try to sneak in a few anti-parasite food pellets.

Good luck and keep us updated

Have you checked any of the water conditions since the moving of the tank?
