Greetings.
Three fabulous zamora woodcats, recently moved from 12gal QT with 5x silver dollars. From day 2in QT they were very active, eating kibble & prawn bits in the daylight, fat-tummies, growing etc.
Last week I moved them into the guppy/swordtail holding @ ~55gal, plenty of bamboo, wood, almond leaves, plants, snails, tubifex, etc etc (incl. tasty & baby guppies) and a generally more mature system. Through capture they got very unhappy & energetic, unfortunately making audible bonk contact with the glass on several occasions. No external/physical damage, at least not that I've been able to see.
They've sort of settled into the new home, hides etc, but aren't eating. One pays passing attention and grabs what falls directly in front of his/her mouth, but the others are really not interested at all. Not favourite kibble, not prawn. Not eating the guppies incl. baby either it seems, as bellies are getting flat. They are cruising slowly about in the evenings, but not interested in food- at least not nearly what they were. No gasping or indicators of poor water quality or low 02.
Concussion? I'd ask if the tank-mates were too active, but the previous SD's were more so... though less of them.
I've swapped 30% water 48hrs ago and will do so again now, just in case. Will add a pinch of salt also.
Annoyingly it's an office tank so feeding them specifically at night is an issue; i try to leave a few larger prawn bits on the bottom at go-home-time, and some are still there in the AM. And no full/fat-tummy as before. Not looking gaunt, but I prefer pudgy as they're still ~3" & growing.
