Hi,
Here is the situation. Last Friday I received a young pair of Apistogramma hongsloi.(Czech tank-bred) The male is about 1", the female maybe 3/4". He is already colored up nicely and was harassing her quite a bit in 20L. She wasn't eating, was hiding all the time. Monday he seemed too aggressive, so I removed her and put her in with a pair of young A. borelli slightly smaller than her. They don't seem to bother her at all, yet she now lies on bottom of tank and refuses food in front of her nose. She has apparently even refused live baby brine shrimp. Does anybody have any suggestions? It has now been over 5 days with no sign of her eating. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have no sick fish in any of my tanks, including the other fish in the 2 tanks she's been in. Thanks in advance. Mark
