Hi all,

I got an alomost 4 inch flowerhorn two days back, now the thing is it just wont feed, its active and running all over the tank but just wont come to the surface and feed.

I have tried freeze dried shrimps and chichlid pellets but no luck...what should i do...? im getting worried.

tank parameters:
3ft x 2ft x 2ft
amm : 0ppm
nitrire: 0 PPM

Hello Saqib. Try adding a drop or two of garlic juice onto the food. It acts as a food enhancer for the fish. Since you just got it 2 days ago it's probably just getting acclimated to its new home. Sometimes it can take a while. Best of luck.

Also if it is 4" it can go awhile without eating. When you move a fish sometimes it takes awhile to get used to its new settings.
Wait 2 or 3 days then try feeding again.
