Hello guys,
I have a spotted gar around 30cm in a 200 gallon tank. I had it with 2 kois and a pleco, but i decided to remove the kois and turn it slowly into a predator tank.

So the changes i made: i removed the kois, i removed the subtrate and i added a steady schedule with 8 hours lighting in the tank (because i got some plants, previously i turned on the lights randomly).
This happened 10 days ago. So now the gar is in the tank alone with the pleco.
Since then the gar is acting weird, but im not sure if this started a little before i made the changes.
It is not eating at all, it is laying still in a piece of wood all day and when the lights turn on it starts swimming around at night.
It seems completely healthy but it is not eating and is staying still all day.
Tank temperature 20 degrees celcius.

Anyone knows what might happening?
