I agree. My green terrors are bottomless pits at feeding time. And pretty much any other time. I feel bad because my ornate is at about 8 inches, so I feel like he should eat a lot. He just doesn't. Or hasn't started to.
The strike seems to be over. He ate 3 chunks of market shrimp last night and looks good and round this morning. I pulled most of the cichlids out of the tank yesterday and he seems to appreciate it.
