He had a case of fin rot recently so I bumped up the temp, did more frequent/larger water changes (50%), and added salt. The fin rot seems to be doing slightly better I think but he doesn't seem to have an appetite at ALL. Not sure what to do. I've tried smelt and shrimp which is what I usually feed him. Maybe I should try picking up some worms tomorrow?

give him some times the extra water changes are probably just makeing him a little un eazy he'll get use to your new water schedual and should start eating soon
OK. I had a feeding problem with my last Big wolf as well. He would eat a frequently for a while and then out of the blue stop eating for a while.
Update: The fins definitly appear to be growing back, which is awesome, thank you all for the tips. Secondly, he finally ate some shrimp that I gave him. Lastly, when I went to see if he had ate the food he flared up at me big time, which is new for his behavior. He must be maturing and that little monster in him is starting to come out. Although, this could be attributed to the stress as previously stated.
lol...yea. Didn't realize how often he wanted me changes his water. His fins look 10x better now though. I'll probably turn the lights back on Saturday, attempt another feeding session, and snap a couple pictures for an update. He's grown at least a couple inches since I got him.channarox;2591487; said:hes mad at you for what you put him through....
