I just purchased a tiger datnoid, under 2 inches, and put him in a 50 gallon breeder. At the same time, I added an electric blue jack dempsey, a julidochromis regani, a melanochromis auratus, a pseudotropheus demasoni??, and 4 synodontis petricolas. The datnoid is probably the largest fish of them all. The tank has been up and running for around 8 months, just restocking, and the levels are fine. My problem is the datnoid is the only fish that isn't eating, and it's been 4 days since they were all added. Since he was getting picked on, I moved him to a 10 gallon containing 3 goldfish in fear he wouldn't make it in the 50 gallon. Only minor injuries. He is very sluggish, just sitting at the bottom, moving occasionally. Any sugestions???
 
Get him out of the 10 g straightaway . The move and diff water parameter has stressed him out further. Leave him with other fish that are eating. Hopefully after day 7 it will eat.
