Blue throat trigger not eating & Hiding

[Wolverine]

nah I got this guy from friend 1 week ago
i got the blue throat 3 weeks ago, going on 4 weeks

That only means that the pinktail wasn't a factor at the beginning, but it could be reason #300 for the BJT not to come out now (from his standpoint).

the blue throat was in QT for 3 weeks with copper in it.

Were you treating anything in particular? While I know some advocate it, I'm not a fan of prophylactically treating, since you don't know what, if anything, the fish has, and may just be unnecessarily exposing the fish to the medications (ie toxins).

The issue is not the feeding, he is not swimming around and ignoring food he is hid away, they are very shy triggers and very nervous! I have a pair and they were fine until I rescaped my tank now my female has been hid away for a couple weeks now with just an eye looking out! They either calm down and continue or hide away until they die !

My triggers won't eat no live fish and I have small fish and shrimp, they love frozen prawn though!
