My RTCxTSN Will Not Eat

[T1KARMANN]

I have had him for about 3-4 days now and he 109% refuses to eat. It is SO frustrating. I got him expecting him to devour everything and be all cool but instead he just sits there and occasionally moves to a new spot... I have tried, feeder goldfish, minnows, shrimp, blood worms, cichlid gold, krill , flakes, bottom feeder pellets and alot more. He doesn't even seem to notice them.

Why is he not eating?

Guys I have a similar problem. My RTC is now 14" long and suddenly he has stopped eating. I had been feeding him marine fish all washed and freezed from market. From about 1 1/2 week back he has stopped eating anything. He vomits half digested fish from a much longer period. yesterday i found him swimming a bit erratically and bumping in to filters, bog wood and walls. he was greyed out for a few months and now he is so dark and contrasting in colour. What could be the problem of not eating and showing signs of weakness? How can i cure him.
Cheers.

There are too many things.

This description though reminds of my RTC experience described here: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=34778&hilit=+throw

Add more aeration/stirring and see if it helps.

He could have contracted a parasite or a bacterial/viral infection.

He could have swallowed something indigestible.

If his diet was not diversified as it should have been and/or too fatty and/or too high in thiaminase etc., he may be suffering from malnutrition.
