I know that a fish wont starve itself, but I am wondering if there is an acceptable ammount of time to wait for a fish to eat. I purchased a Herichthys Carpintis, Andinoacara Stalsbergi, and a Managuense last Friday from Rapps and all are eating great except the Managuense. I have offered sinking pellets, floating pellets, blood worms, black worms, krill, mysis shrimp, and flake. Other than not eating it seems very healthy. Swims all over and has great collor. Any thoughts?
How long to eat?

- Start date
Tomorrow morning will make 8 days with no eating. How long untill I should worry? It seems to be healthy. Swimming around and all.
i had a 4" greent terror go about 6 weeks without eating. and its currently on another 4 week strike so i wouldnt worry too much.
Just leave the lights off and keep throwing stuff in.
My male jag wont eat anything that doesnt sink to him anymore and having ran out of massivore he hasnt eaten for almost a week now.
until you see the stomache area start concaving is when you should start to worry a bit
