Jewel w/o appetite
Are Jewel cichlids naturally conservative eaters. I've had mine for a little while now and I figured at first she didn't want to eat because she was in a scary new tank. Now she is coming out of her shell a little more but she still isn't going after the food. Her previous owner was feeding her hikari mini pellet, she didn't want those. I had some Hikari micro pellets and she didn't want those. Even tried some omega one betta flakes and still a no. She comes to the surface and surveys the food but then swims back into her log. I did give her some frozen blood worms but I don't know is she ate those. Is this normal for them to be shy eaters?
Have another question, do jewels like to be in just pairs(if so do they do okay as a same sex pair) or do they like to be in groups?
Also was wondering if anyone had some jewels for sale I'm looking for some, will pay.
