Fish Not Hungry?

[fergalthefish]

Does anyone else get days when their fish are not hungry? Mine haven't eaten properly for about 4 days. Its not just one or two individuals, but all of them, just not interested in it at all. Is this normal?

whats your tank stats?
stock?
food?
how often are/were you feeding?
 
this will help further

How many gallons is the tank please?
How many fish and which type?
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph?
What do you feed the fish?

300 litres. I have clown loach, silver dollar, silver distichodus, black widow tetra and corys. Feed flake, prawns, peas and frozen bloodworn occasionally, and pellets/wafers. No stats as i dont measure.

I think you need to get your water tested. Take a sample to the LFS and ask them to write the readings down for you.
 
Do any fish show signs of ill health?

 

[fergalthefish]

No, not at all, just as normal except not eating. Seems to be the older ones actually, the young distichodus has eaten, the corys are foraging, the widows are ok, just the loach, dollars and older distichodus not interested.

From what I've heard, the loaches get really picky when they get older, maybe try something else for food? I'm not sure about the other two but give that a try.
