I recently rehomed 2 of my 3 peacock bass(not breeding) and since i removed them the one left completely stopped eating and he usually would eat like a pig.

I raised a group of baby WC Yucao Orinos, all pellet slammers, since babies.

Sold off the first 3 no feeding problems. Sold off the next largest bully fish, kept the last 2.

The larger of the last 2 stopped feeding for almost 7-days, it would take the pellets and then spit them out. The slightly smaller fish would still eat but not as much.

I was sick about it, because the larger of the 2-fish was my favorite fish, but after a few weeks (still have the 2-fish) by themselves in a bare 90-gallon-tank, 1-fish aprox 9-inch the other around 8-inch there both back slamming pellets right from the bottom of the bare-bottom tank floor.

Yeah just give it some time to adjust. Any tankmates with it? If not try adding some silver dollars or other dither fish to make it feel more comfortable/secure.
