So I recently got a Platinum channa Argus. I had put him in my main tank with a Jaguar and Bullseye SH. The first day went well but then the Bullseye started attacking it so I removed the Platinum SH and put him all by himself in another tank. He hasn't been eating ever since. I've tried live food (feeder fish, gold fish, super worms) I've tried thawed prawns and fish but have had no luck yet. It's been 3 days and I'm a bit worried now. The place I got him from used to feed him Chicken (which I'm not a fan of when it comes to feeding it to your fish)

He has been killing all the feeder fish and goldfish for fun but not eating them.

What can I do to get him eating?

TIA
 
I’d try and give a break for several days to a week then retry with live earthworms. Would avoid the chicken and feeder fish.

first of all
NEVER MIX SNAKEHEAD SPECIES
SPECIALLY NOT THE LARGER ONES
striata argus marulius and micropeltes are among the most aggressive fish ever

As far as feed goes
some fish get used to one kind of food and dont accept the rest which maybe the case
specially newly bought snakeheads can be hard to feed
id give it a week or two ... this is pretty normal
