Cute lil guy you got there😃👌. Try to stay away from all saltwater fish the salt has a reaction on some Pim's Skin where it can take skin right off. I learned that after about a week and switched to all freshwater food. Got a breeding colony of Nile tilapia just as feeders...haha 😋
 
Give it pleanty of hiding spots to feel secure. Feed it at lights out. I would try tilapia filets.
 
It may be stress of the move. That'd be simple. It also can be that he was fed very differently before. If he was on dead / prepped foods, that'd be good. If he was on live feeders, it's going to take work to wean him off live.

In general, tigs and jurs are finicky, hesitant feeders and do not compete well in a community.

My 8" jurs fasted for 6 months before accepting non-live foods.
