Just moved my ornate to a 125 gallon tank today. He is not eating yet. He is around 5 inches long.
Is there any way to feed him as my greedy delhezi keeps gobbling up all the food
 
Was ornate eating prior to the move ? -If so give ornate a little time to acclimate, but as for getting food to ornate I would suggest target feeding if this will ease your mind. :)

yes he was. He was in a 10 gallon before. However in the 125 gallon he is not showing any interest in the food. I will try again later;)
 
He will be fine. He should eat in a couple days. It's not too big of a stressing move as the water quality, temp and params should be similar. Also the extra space will help it feel more comfortable. It should eat in a little bit once it feels settled in. Nothing to worry about.
