Male Krib

As the topic says, my Male krib is not eating like all the other fish in the tank. the female krib has been eating well. the male krib sucks in the food and then spits it back out. is there a way i can get him into eating normally??

is he a new fish? how long have you had him for?
try soaking food in garlic juice. stimulates appetite (and boosts immuniity)
cheers

yeah he is new i got him exactly 1 week ago. how do i feed him if he doesn't even show interest in going after the food?? will the garlic affect the other fish?

He may have a internal parasite. I would take him back, saying he wont eat and get a new male. If you don't want to( My best advise for you is to do it ), garlic MAY help. It may not. It will only affect your fish in making them more attracted to the food.
