My 7 inch kelberi hasn’t eaten in 6 days and he normally eats every day in the morning. Temp is 84.2 and NO2 0 NO3 0-20. Did a 100 gallon water change yesterday to see if it would help but he still didn’t eat this morning.

What about the other peacock bass you have below him .. is that one eating? What kind is that one? Could they be fighting? Could your temp be off? Any signs of ich? What do they normally eat?? What size tank?
 
Nope that’s a xingu and there’s also an azul and Bichir in there. No aggression. They eat mosquito fish and guppies raised in our koi pond, tilapia filets, glass shrimp, medium sized frozen shrimp and petsmart brand night crawlers. Yes everyone else is eating. No temp is and he been consistent.

Perhaps he has a parasite problem idk?
 
I’d try live river shrimp to rule out anything sinister. If he doesn’t take that look at medicating but I’d act sooner than later as he looks skinny and I reckon he’ll turn out really nice when adult.
 
Great. Hope he starts eating more. And recovers so we can watch him grow...
