Electric blue Jack Dempsey

Just bought an EBJD he is sooooo cool!! He is super timid and was getting chase by my regular JD... which is common apparently. My regualr JD went back to the LFS for a credit since he is $10 CND and the EB is $90 CND LOL. He is only a day in the tank and hasn't started eating, which I have read can be a problem with this variant.

Any suggestions and inputs with care or stimulating eating would be appreciated.... I don't wanna lose any fish, but I especially don't wanna lose a $90 one!!!

He just needs time to settle and find his place in the tank...he will be eating in no time again. Congrats EBJD's are georgeous !!!!

Thanks... given what I have seen of EB pics mine is quite exceptional~!! Of course everyone thinks that of their pets heheh.

All the fish I have had in my tank to date have eaten their first day so I have been freakin' out all day at work.... nothing worse than coming home to a floater

I was screwing around taking some underwater shots of him last night but he is quite shy. Day 3 and he still won't eat of the surface.... I have spotted him picking thru the gravel, so I hope he is getting some leftovers at least!!Day off on Sunday so I am gonna spend some time taking pictures of my set up... to be posted soon!!!
