Senegal Problems

[BichirAddict]

I added my delhezi bichir to the rest of the group about 1 week ago and senegal hasn't been eating normally. I also did a complete reaquascape on the tank at the same time.

Question is

Could have adding the delhezi to the tank scared the senegal or is the time of the revamping of tank due to problem.

all water conditions are fine.

IMHO, the adding of a new delhezi does not affect the senegal to be not eating. Most probably is the reaquascaping makes the senegal nervous and needs time to adapt to its new home (well old home with new decoration). It will get over with it sooner or later.

I had the same thing happen, except I didn't rescape. After a day or two, my two senegals went back to being little pigs as usual, but are still very afraid of the delhezi (the del is about two or three inches larger).
