My 8" female jaguar recently laid eggs, she is alone in a 125 gallon tank at the moment. Since coming home from the pet shop about a week ago she has not eaten anything besides her eggs from what Ive seen. The pet shop said it was eating frozen lance fish which i have tried to no avail (they sink and just lie on the gravel). I have tried numerous cichlid pellets and even live feeder fish. The feeder fish are all still alive and well and the jag shows no interest.

She hasn't eaten for about a week now, when should i start worrying and what suggestions do you guys have?

Thanks
 
I would be patient and give it time.
I have had fish take up to 3 weeks before they start eating. Your fish sounds like it is a decent size, so it should be ok.
