I have a Dogface newer about Month, unfortunately the lfs i got him from was feeding Krill and only krill.. So when i got him home thats all he eats. I have tried 6 different types of meats and he will not eat them.. To keep him from starving i have fed him Krill... NOW,,,, i noticed hes just laying on the power head, he will swim out and i see he has poop looks to be half way out, he does excrete some as hes swimming so i THINK he starting to clear it out. Hes has not eaten for 2 day... Any ideas would be appreciated, also if he pulls through, thoughts on how i can get him to eat anything other then krill?
Thanks

Fast him as long as it takes to get him to eat something else. Try live crabs. For constipation, treat the tank with Epsom salt at 1 tbsp/5g.
