:mwave: It's always wonderful when they start eating again. I can tell you that my palembang was sulking for two months after I painted the glass wall in the back of her tank black. Her hiding was right by the now black back of her tank, and she did not like the change. She didn't stop eating, but she was much more picky and difficult, and I really had to trick her into eating. :lol: Well, after a long summer vacation, she had learned to feel hunger again, and now she is back to normal.

Well mine and lesley's replies seem to have been deleted (sorry lesley didnt get to read it!) A little good news. Nooki actually begged a little when offered worm this morning, chased off the barbs and ate two!!!! I am so happy and sure that is it now for the week. One unusual thing that happened last couple of days he has buried for the first time..ever, so definately going through changes.

Mines behaviour is still erratic as well. I tried to feed him one day, pops out for a second looking all enthusiastic for food, drop it in, takes a bite and then leaves it. This happened for a few days so I didnt feed him for 3 days. 2 days of that was solid begging everytime he saw me and I didnt feed and then on the end of day 3 and he ate it all. Then I might get a feed in every day for the next couple of days or he might just ignore it again. Its totally random so now if he refuses to eat I have a minimum 2 days starvation period before I try again and that is working for me most of the time. Tempramental fish.

I think we can honestly say he is over the hump..we have had pure begging and good feeding for the last three days and he has been giving us glass kisses again so fingers crossed he is back! I hope yours is behaving better Hilly and everyone elses who also seem to be misbehaving at the moment!

No hes a sulk. I'm coming to accept it. Not a lot I can do about it, he has his moments but for the most part he does not a lot.
