before i should worry....
Hello MFKs, i recently got a 10" Indo from a member and it been 10 days and it still not eating anything. The seller was feeding it shrimp and fish fillet. Tankmates are all eating normal with mp and nls pellets. there are 22" balck aro, 9" indo, 6" NTT, 4" NTT, 6 7" kitumbas, 8" tig, 9" jar in the 270. water are all good. WC-drip 1gph with 10g per feeding. I try dry shrimp, fresh shrimp, fillet so far with no luck. its stable and swimming around. On it first day the 9" was bullying him for hours...but no more. Anyone with the same issue please chime in. anymore info just ask. thanks.
 
is there any food left over after the rest of the fish have eaten? maybe its picking up the scraps that u havent seen? if the stomach isnt sunken in i wouldnt worry too much at 10" they dont have to eat for a few weeks.
 
There are no left over after the feeding, i'm always watching to see if it will eat. It will look at the food and the other fishes at feeding time but won't eat. I also try to feed it at night with light off (this is when i feed the Tigrinus) but also no luck.
 
it will be ok for 6-8 weeks no need to panic for a long time
