[cscm86]

hey guys. i recentley bought two 12" azuls. there in a 125g with good water quality and temp is around 81f. tank dimensions are 72l x 18w x 24t. i put them in last saturday, and the water quality went south for like 3 days. the waters good now but there still not eating. they havent eaten except before they were delivered. anyone have any advice on what to do. they were eating massivore and thats what i try to feed them. lmk please. thank you

Had the same thing w/a 12" Orino. Took me 3-4 weeks till he ate.
I gave him what the owner told me he fed him but nothing. Finally he gave in to chopped nightcrawlers. Following day I mixed the nightcrawlers w/shrimp n tilapia, food was gone! Pellets the next serving boom, gone.

Try something along those lines but stay away from feeders, jmo.

try raising the temp to 85-86F. Keep trying the massivore or even hikari floating sticks.

Give them some time, they have to adjust to there new surroundings, and shoot out some pics please.
