my RES that i got in december...still smaller than the size of my palm has stopped eating. I haven't done anything to it...he/she just stopped eating 3 days ago. He/she still basks and swims and all that...just doesn't eat the pellets or the shrimp he/she would go crazy for before. Is this normal?...if not...what can I do to help?

watch for other signs like swollen eyes, gasping, listing while swimming...and keep trying with him cz he should eat..they don't just stop eating for nothing

i hope nothing's wrong with him..good luck and keep us posted

Squirt actually started to eat!

I gave him some feeder fish and he's really liking it. He'll also eat pellets and everything else I used to feed him.

Guess nothing's really wrong with him...hopefully he doesn't scare me like that again. I'll try to post some pictures of him.
