Hi, i recently (about a week ago) got a banded leporinus from my Local fish store. It is about a foot long, and moves around and chases my fish . However, i havent seen it eat since i got it , but he doesnt looked starved. But, yesturday i saw him change colors to a grayish tone, and is still that color even today. Please help hes a p cool fish.
 
Good news, it's dark pigment is nearly gone and it is moving well, but I still can't get it to eat. Any suggestions anyone?
 
More tank details please.

Size/foot print?

Time tank has been established?

Specific detailed stocking?

Latest readings from a good liquid test kit?

Detailed decor?

What are you trying to feed it?

LIving in 55 gallon, gonna get 150 p soon. Living with silver dollars , red oscar and lace catfish
