I got a new african butterfly fish about a week ago. I had one previously but unfortunately he met his end when he jumped out of the tank one night throgh a hole I thought was much too small. That fish was always hungry and woud take crickets right out of my fingers. Anyway I was very excited to get another one last week and when I brought him home he gulped down 2 small crickets right away. Unfortunately he has not eaten anything since then. I have tried him with crickets of different sizes, meal worms, floating cichlid pellets, frozen bloodworms and flakes. he is in a very heavily planted 15 gal long tank with about 1/2 to 3/4 of the top covered in vegetation and a very slow current. The only other tankmates are 2 adult female platies and 2 female guppies
The water paramets are good ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate <.25. The temp is about 80
