I have had him for about 2 weeks and he still doesn't eat when I put food in for him. I have fed him flakes, pellets, and bloodworms. The gouramis go crazy over the food but my poor EBJD just sits there. Any ideas? :nilly:
Yes, it's probably a bad thing. That's standard behavior when they're having problems. The fact that he's taking the food indicates that he wants to eat. The fact that he's spitting it out indicates an issue with his digestive system.My EBJD is spitting out most of it after mouthing it... bad thing? I mean obviously he's eating SOMETHING that goes into his stomach cause he's still alive after 3 weeks but I'm still worried.
