Feeding

[sclabman]

My male convict has stopped eating! What do i do? I'm feeding him hikari gold pellets and flake food, but he wont take any.

Any signs of disease? Stress? Whats your water like? Maybe do a water change and try a different food?

well he's being harassed a lot by my female convict and his tail is all shredded because of her. i do regular 30% water changes and my params are all in check. i'm gonna pick up some blood worms or something to see if he'll try that...

i'm thinking of taking him back to the store becuase all that hes done since i've gotten him is get harassed by the female.

The harassing is probably stressing him to the point he won't eat. At least that'd be my guess.
