Hi - I have a new 2.5 inch BGK fish - am very worried about him not eating.
Had him 2 days. He is in a 6x2x2 foot amazonian theme aquarium. Heavily planted, many logs and roots in which to hide. Water parameters should be ok for him. No big scary fish, all 100% amazonian.
He just hides and won't come out to eat - even with lights almost off. Have tried blood worm, brine shrimp and flake.
I know these guys are supposed to be big eaters. Any hints? Will he just eat when hungry enough? I don't want him to die!
I also don't want to randomly throw food in there in the dark, as don't want to spoil water...
Advice very gratefully recieved.
