Hey I own a Butterkoferi cichlid. I had him for a year and he is about 5-6 inches long. At first I had him eating anything (flakes, pellets, worms) but now he when I put pellets in he will stare at them like two inches away. He will not go to eat from for some reason. If i pushed the pellets down he would go in to get them. Sometimes he might get one but he snag it then freak out and swim to the buttom splashing water everywhere. I was feeding him flakes for awhile but he isnt getting enough. I noticed my other fish getting the pellets because the cichlid isnt eating them. I bought a bunch of feeder fish and seems not to go after them even when a small one strays away from their little school near him. What should i do?
Right now I have a 50 gallon tank.
1 Butterkoferi
1 black ghost
4 rapheal catfish
about 30-40 feeder fish
All levels are where they are suppose to be. it's the same pellets i always feed him. Cichlid 10 i believe. HELP!
