My silver has not eaten in about a week...
About 3 weeks ago my 15" silver jumped out of the tank in the middle of the night. I eventually woke up bc of the ruckus and put him back in the tank. I guess he was out about 5 - 10 minutes, not sure.
After about 10 minutes back in the tank, he was doing a tail stand in the corner. I thought for sure he was a goner, gave him a nudge though, he started swimming as ususal, and has never stopped since. He would not eat for about a week, and then he started eating floating shrimp pellets. One or two the first day, a few more the next, a few more the next etc... After about a week he was eating as much as he ate before he jumped. Everything but feeders, which he loved before jumping. Everytime I have put them in there since the jump, he looks at the and shows no interest.
About 5 days ago, he stopped eating again altogether. I tried fd kirill, shrimp pellets, frozen shrinp and feeders. He shows no interest. He devoured these very aggressively before jumping.
I haven't had the water tested, but I clean and maintain the tank religiously. I am confident the water is ok. Just did another change Saturday.
The only addition to the tank was a shovelnose cat, but I have never seen them messing with each other.
Any suggestions?
