If you have just moved them give it time to settle. Just like bringing it home from the LFS. Also in the move how long was your filter non operational?.
filter was off for one night the tank was full so i put the heater on and my massive powerhead blowing thousands of bubbles into the tank the gravel still had bactieria and i didnt feed any of the fish for three days prior just today added some some stress zyme bacteria just in case.i really dont want to but should i try feeders in three days im getting a juruense cat from snookin21 saturday and ill have to ween him but live is the last effert becuase my yellowtail cuda is weened to pellets allthough he ignores feeders so that isnt a problem but should i try silversides or more massivore?
go with feeders... always make sure they eat first they figure things out after... I don't usually take chances with non eating fits lol
just for this moment on, dont mess with the water much other putting the heater on a proper temp. Once your filter is dead, your bacteria too will die eventually. If you notice no sign of ilness on your fish, then there is nothing wrong with them. It is quiet normal for newly added fish not to eat for a while, as they would need sometimes to addapt with the new environment. Adding some hiding spot would help, otherwise use feeders fish that you quarantined, with sizes that your fish can swallow easyly.

How many Tats do you have and all I can say is they will be fine with time just get the temp right and keep the lights off for awhile worked for mine.
have two of them but i think they will take pellets again becuase the very second time i fed them after i got them they were hitting the massivore and silversides,but also becuase my barracuda is already eating pellets again as well as every other fish in the tank the temp is in the 80s and the lights have been off for awhile but if not ill try with silver minnows first since my juruense im getting tomorrow only eats live than try the silversides than pellets thanks for the help
I think someone already touched on it but most payara do not like to be disturbed or moved.I have had tats before along with the armatus that currently have and each time I have had to move any of them it would be at least a week before they would come around and break their fast.There is really nothing you can do besides leave them alone and they should start eating when they get hungry enough.
