My C. Frontosa Won't Eat!

[wegotcrabs]

So I've wanted a Frontosa for a while now. I'm new to the Cichlid world and am still learning. I finally bought one early last week and unknowingly put him in my 55 gallon african tank. I was then informed that he was not a good tankmate since I have all Malawi's. So I took him and my Brichardi out since they're from the same lake and put them in a 29 gallon by themselves, now neither of them will eat.....what should I do???!!!!!!!!!!

sounds to me like they getting adjusted to there new surroundings...when i put fish in a new tank they dont eat for several days...wait until tommorow

monitor there behavior...also i hope u didnt just through the guys in...even if the tank is cycled there is temp shock and ph shock...that could also be a factor...but just give them a day...maybe someone will say otherwise

He's almost certainly sulking due to the move - typical large cichlid behaviour.
