Sick Front::::::

[jaymorris]

I have a large front that after moving my tank to a different location, will not eat now. He moves around and looks healthy, but most of the time he stays under his rock and will not come out to eat with the rest of the fish. Can anyone help me?

Fronts are especially picky to change, ie moving them. Even more so the bigger they get.

When I moved mine from upstairs to a down stairs tank some of them took 4 weeks to begin eating. If everything else with them seems fine I wouldn't worry too much.

ive had the exact same problem with four larger fronts i got back from a friend they rarely came out of hiding, only at night and my biggest one got spooked and jumped out of the tank lucky i was home and heard it.

So what would you suggest that can be done to help reduce the stress that is occurring to them. These are beautiful and large fronts, so i do not want to loose them.

If possible keep foot traffic by the tank to a minimum and keep the lights out for a few days. Cut down on your feeding as well. They will be fine. This happened to mine after the move to the 125 gal tank.
