    Default Severums not eating

    Hey guys.

    So i bought Pam's red severums, and they aren't eating, it's been over a week now. Given they are 7 and 8 inches, they aren't on the verge of starvation or anything.

    I have tried bloodworms, flakes (shrimp flakes, nutrafin, wardles etc), pellets (NLS, Hikari gold) and shrimp.

    They are starting to act more aggressively to the other fish too. Not just to defend them selves, But to claim territory.

    My other 7 severums in the tank are eating like pigs, anything i throw in the tank.

    Any other recommendations? Do you guys think they will come around? My other fish are really aggressive eaters so maybe they are spooked? Should i isolate them?

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Yes, we already talked about it

    Did they eat yet Alex? If they haven't, I really think that you should buy them some of the Hikari Carnivore Pellets because that was their main/favourite food here. Your other fish would love the Carnivore Pellets too.
