Snakehead hasn’t been eating

[TakkerDada]

Hi, my platinum snakehead (argus) hasn’t been eating for the past 2 days. I feed him anchovies and prawns from the market usually. Since the past 2 days he hasn’t been eating them. I got feeder goldfish to see if he eats them but he only had one and killed 2. He has been in with me for 1.5 years and never had this problem. Last I fed him live goldfish was in

Hello!

What are the tank parameters: pH, nitrates, nitrites, etc.?
What is the tank size?
Who are the tank mates?
What is the water temperature?

Goldfish should not be fed to other fish since they contain thiamine, which can be harmful when consumed.

Judging from your username, I’m guessing you’re in India? The temperature is dropping there, which might affect your tank temperature if there’s no heater. If that’s the case, your fish may not be as hungry due to a slower metabolism caused by the temperature drop, so I wouldn’t be too worried.
