lots of luck with him..i give my royal tiny baby cichlid pellets inside his cave.. he loves them and veggies..carrot too and potatoe..but mainly zucchini sliced up thin and held down with fork or parboiled and it will sink..

same with mine..he was so perfect i was taking pictures of him until i realized he never moved.. sorry sometimes it is just something called stress, they go through alot coming from wholesaler and to lfs and then to us.. some just cannot take the stress.:( you will feel better when you get the new guy ..i have had mine many months now and he is doing great.
 
thanks i loved him too my favorite plec been looking for one for a long time

i know how you feel..i honestly cried when i realized mine was gone because i wanted him for a long time.. so very similiar circumstances but make sure he gets you another and things will be okay again..
 
If they aren't in good health when you get them, the added stress can be the last straw for them, as what probably happened with you Liz. If you have a healthy animal, and acclimate it right and give it the proper care you should be fine.
