Ok, i bought a common wolf around a week ago form the local pet store (which i work at). During this week he has only ate one feeder, totally ignoring all the others i have tried to feed him. At the store he was eating like a horse. 6' long, keeping him in a 30 gal (soon xfering him into a 75) water at 76...

is this normal or am i doing somethign wrong?:help2:
 
You should really provide water parameters and pics for this sort of question. If you work at a pet store then your parameters should be close......... It could be the issue.
 
yeah sorry, i had the owner check my water and he said it was fine

I understand what you mean but scientifically speaking we need numbers. Most specifically No2 (nitrite), no3 (nitrate), NH3/NH4 (ammonia), pH (Hydrogen potential), Kh or dKh and temperatures. Until people get to know your expertise (and beyond) you will always be asked these questions as soooo much depend on your numbers. Please be more specific so we can better help you.
 
welcome to MFK ... that is a beautiful wolf fish.. you can post all your concerns in the wolf forum or fish health forum .. i will add both links here so you can check them out.. don't worry you did not fail..... not at all.. it takes time to learn all this stuff..that why your here and thats why i am here to help you.. also you will be amazed at all the other fishkeepers that will help quide you along.. so do not get discouraged... and stick with us... View attachment 366701also i would not worry about him just yet.. he is settling in to his new home...everything is different... they can go along time without ill effects from not eating.. and as long as he was fed a healthy feeder he is just stressing a bit..
