I have a 4-5 inch rhom who won't eat I've tryed beef heart catfish fillets and even took the risk of feeders
rhom wont eat
- Thread starter nick the kid
- Start date
agreed, plus dont be surprised if you dont see it eat, some take along time before they're comfortable eating infront of you
I picked up my Rhom about 6 weeks ago, and he won't eat in front of me yet...my guy is bigger (10") but still quite shy. I feed mine feeders that i'm raising, and chunks of tilapia. I've never seem him eat, but by morning it's clear that he has.

I've had mine for 6 months atleast and since I've had him he ate in front of me ever time I throw food in there its still there the next day sadly last night his tank sprung a leek I had to set him in a 10 gallon moving him to a 35 tomorrow then a 55 in a week or to
Is the tank cycled? Ammonia/nitrites will make fish sick and lead to appetite loss and all sorts of bad things. after making certain water parameters are straight try no food for a few days and offer chunks of raw shrimp or pellets.
A hungry fish will eat when acclimatization is complete, make sure your lighting is NOT blindingly bright and temps are 78-82°
