frankenstrat Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 i have a 10cm dimi comp in my display tank with a bunch of other african cichlids, all the other fish are fine and the temp, and water quality and ph are fine,everything else is eating great and seems happy but my dimi comp hasnt eaten in 4 days and isnt as active as normal....he normally only eats tetra colour and nothing else,i have tried other foods but he wont eat anything....any ideas?

krellious Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 What food was he eating before he stopped? Also does he have places to hide. He could be stressed and not eating. What size are the other africans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankenstrat Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 he was fed tetra colour bits in the shop i bought him from and thats what ive always used, he is the 3rd biggest in the tank and nobody bothers him....there isnt really anywhere for him to hide, perhaps i need some more rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 bugger. No idea why he doesnt eat. Isolate him if you have a spare tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehawk Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 i had exactly the same problem with mine since i got it. was one of the larger fish in the tank, noone picked on it, but it didnt eat for 3 weeks. just died yesterday probably from starvation i had tried everything but showed no interest in food at all.

frankenstrat Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 i have 3 others that are smaller than he was, about 7cm, the 1 that died was about 11cm....i really wanted to have a crack at breeding them. and they are in my opinion a beautiful fish to look at....if you have any around 7cm it would great if you have some for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
