I've had my jag since Early Nov. Bought him at about 1"
Hes now around 3" and looks great, hes the problem.
For the first few weeks I had him he was full of personality
I could handfeed him and whatnot, close to the friendliness
of my Oscar, but then we moved in late Nov. and I put him
in a bigger tank, he was sulking for a few days as per usual
then came back to his normal self, but in the past 2 weeks
hes completely changed, Everytime someone or I go to the
tank, he runs away and hides, he eats, but I haven't seen
him eat, Ive just observed the pellets disppearing.

So I was wondering if anyone had some advice or had the same
happen to them and could give me some explanations.

Thanks :(
 
same thing happening with me
but it started happening after he killed his mate after 7 successful spawns
i just don't bother him anymore
put the food right before lights out
by morning the food is gone and he is fat
 
just have to give him time. it sucks i know but it's happened to me a few times now when putting a small fish in a big tank. i think they feel a bit threatened or something. just keep feeding and doing w/c and he'll grow and become more outgoing the bigger he gets
