    tangs can be picky. I usually soak everything in Selcon which acts as a appetite inducer as well as nutrient supplement.

    Just keep food available. I'm not gonna lie, stress is a very common reason for not eating. Was he eating in QT? also is her getting picked on?

    Eating in QT just fine and no I don't think so, only other tank mates are two clowns who stick to themselves

    I think he will probably snap out of it. How long until the upgrade?

    Agreed. Can you wait for the new tank to be fully cycled or are you cannablizing most of your 75?

    I might be able to wait, depends on when I move, leaving the parents getting my own apartment with the GF, a 125 rimless will be a grand centerpiece in our livingroom

    Wouldn't want that dream to come crashing down after you move in.
