Hi all,
I recently acquired a Glossolepis incisus at the TBAS
auction (great show, Jim did a wonderful job). Great
looking fish, but I have not witnessed it eating since it
"followed me home". It has been two weeks and I think that
is enough of a settling in time. I've tried 4 kinds of
flake, 3 kinds of pellet (float and sink), frozen community
food, frozen blood worms, live grindal worms, and even
mosquito larva. I'm beginning to think there might be a
problem. I'm not in a panic yet but it has gotten my
attention. It's in with some lacustrus and praecox who eat
like pigs. The incisus get more active and attentive during
feedings but does not eat. I'm at a loss, any thoughts?
