Royal Gramma Issue

[agranoff]

I have had my Royal Gramma for 2 years and it always ate a lot of flake food and pellets. I moved last Tuesday so the tank was moved as well. Its been over a week now and the Royal Gramma looks fine, its back to swimming around etc... but it won't touch food at all. In fact a few times the food hit the fish as it was sinking and it ignored it. Any suggestions on how to get it to start eating again? The other fish in the tank are eating fine.

Thanks!

Try some Mysis or Brine Shrimp. Maybe you can put a couple drops of Garlic in the tank to help entice his appetite

Did you use the old sand? A move can often "stir up" nasty stuff that has been trapped. These increased nutrients can cause fish to go on a hunger strike. Try doing a water change.

Try feeding with the pumps on, if you don't already. This can trigger feeding responses. And definitely try frozen brine or mysis.

Or find a place that carries live black worms. My gramma LOVES black worms. As do all my fish really.
