Tiger shovel nose not eating

[Josep2798]

Hi, I bought 4 tiger shovelnose they are in a 150G setup the water parameters are perfect, temp is between 78-80f, I’ve had them for 4 days but I have not seen them eating they are 4 inches each

they are probably just stressed and they will probably start eating soon

Agree a little time and patience will do. Should be eating for u soon.

When mine was small it really only ate over night. Never ate in front of me until 8" or so. Also the fish are new and still adjusting. Dont worry, let them get comfortable and they will eat.

Just watch that temperature, imo 78 is reaching the high side for a constant temp for them.
