I did put in some fresh market shrimp, but he didnt take that either. Maybe he just has to settle in like other told me.
By the way....................................................................................
COWBOYS ROCK!
I've seen this behavior with every aggressive fish I have introduced into an established tank. When they are moved they go into a shock instinct. It doesnt know yet what those other things swimming around the tank are, friend, foe or food. It is like they don't know if it is safe to move to get food.
...how long have you had him? he will eat ..give him a chance to settleWest1;2280972; said:I picked this lil W/C Silver Aro that wont eat. He was eating like a champ at the Lfs on only freeze dried krill but wont even take guppies in my tank.
I threw in krill (big and small), feeders and pellets but this dude wont eat.
He is currently bathing in PraziPro with a W/C Orino and Armatus.
Everyone is eating but this dude. He is swimming like crazy and looks healthy but from what I know.... Aros like to eat. Any suggestions??
(Incase you ask, it is an established tank with air and a lot of media..... nothings wrong with the tank)
Thanks
I agree with the give him time to setlle in responses. my first Aro didnt eat for around 3-4 days, then he wouldnt stop. GL
