Chocolate Cichlid Not Eating!

[Spike_ea_2k6]

i have a male chocolate cichlid, he hasnt been eating for a week now, and im starting to get very worried.
ive tried him with everything but he still wont eat, do u know whats wrong?

What are the conditions in the aquarium? Fish will often react to negative changes by going off their food (and conversely, providing better water conditions can often encourage difficult fish to feed). Temperature and aggression from tankmates are two things to think about. When I kept a pair of Hypselecara temporalis, I found them to be quite sensitive fish, easily distressed by aggressive tankmates.

Cheers, Neale

PS. Several cichlids are called "chocolate cichlids". Using Latin names makes everyone's life easier!

So he hasn't darkened in colour, does he huddle in a corner.
