My thin bar refuses to eat

[dpk2313]

I havent seen him eat in over a week tho I literally shower him with food, is there anything I can do or feed that will make him eat i bought him about 11days ago and he ate fine first day but now he is constantly hiding and refuses to eat even live, Ive been feeding or trying to feed nls is there another food that would better suite him or entice him to eat?

thanks

Soaking the food in garlic juice works for a lot of fish, you could give that a try.

i have 6 NTT and only 1 would eat NLS, they all eat Hikari Food Stick (the bag with the pic of Arowana). but i did have to starve them for awhile like a few weeks or so before they start taking pellets. don't worry, depending on size datnoid can survive without eating for weeks no problem. good luck trying.
