YaY, good to hear, sometimes they go for a few days without eating. My piggy wont eat while im on vacation, hes very picky on who feeds him and for some reason he dont like my wife...crazy fish...:screwy:
 
This does happen, when George(ours that died) was at that sort of size, he'd eat like mad for a while and then stop for a few weeks, it's like they stop to let the body catch up, nothing to worry about.
 
yeah guys thats exactly what happened!!it started when I fed him before I went away but just for a day then when a came back he wouldn't eat..I mean I expected him to be very hungry but he didn't touch anything I put in...Whew I'm glad that I wasn't the only one having problems..Thanks again Guys!!
 
It was only when he hit the 12-14'' mark where he would eat regularly.
 
They will do that from time to time, no worries unless he starts to look bad. Piggy will actually change colors when sick, from a nice silver to a dark brown and just lay around. When i use to feed him fresh veggies some would get past him and get under decor. The rotting of this cause mold that covered him all over his body. I almost lost him(it did kill my blue channel cat). It took me 4 weeks to nurse him back to health and get rid of the mold that covered his entire body(not a pretty sight). Be very careful when feeding fresh fruits and veggies, make sure none is left to decay.

That just depends on the individual fish. Try a piece of fruit or veggie every now and then and see what he/she likes. This could be strawberries, bananna, some develop a taste for acidy foods like tomatoes, experiment with different kinds.:D
 
Mine still has not accepted fruits yet, just eats loads of veggies! oh and of course Hikari chichlid gold!
