Warmouth not eating

[Destroyer551]

To make things even more complicated my warmouth hasn't eaten in a week an a half!
He has feeders in with him, but just doesn't want to eat.
How long can it survive without food? I figured he'd get hungry enough.
And he always loved feeding time a few weeks ago.

How long have you had him? What else is in the tank with him? Parameters? Tank size?

 

[Destroyer551]

Tank size is 10 gallons for a grow out tank, he's only 2 inches. theres 10 very small feeder mosquito fish. There is a sun cat in there that im trying to grow out. He's too small for my oscar tank. They are the same size, but here and there I do see them pester eachother here and there. I ran out of most of my test supplies, but ammonia reads 0.

Oh, and I've had him for four months, he was 3/4 of an in. when I first got him and live in a 7.5 gallon tank for a while. once he reached 2 in. I moved him to the 10 gallon. Do you think he still hasn't adjusted yet? I have a 24 gallon tall I can move him to with no one in it. But I dont want to stress him out too much.

Well fish that you catch in the wild take a little long to get used to eatting pellets and other stuff you have to keep trying to feed it and he will eat one of these times

wtf did you read it, good advice but hes had it for four months already it should be eating.

He's eating now, he loved feeders, but now he just hates them to death. Kinda wierd. He eats anything I put it the tank that moves now so he's doing great.

try mixing it up, feed him some worms, or some crickets, dont just stick with feeders.
