What is your PH reading atm. It does take some time for certain fish to settle in properly,anything up to a week before they get the confidence to come out in the open and feed normally. Keep an eye on it, getting it to feed is the priority . mickey 2008-06-02 Answer no. 2 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=black-moor-#3 my ph is bout 6.8-7.0, i put him into my mini 5 litre tank and he eventually came up to eat. before that he just ate the flakes that sunk but now he's coming up to eat so i put him back with the other goldfishes.[ill keep you guys posted on what goes thx]. pedroman2 2008-06-05 Answer no. 3 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=black-moor-#4 when i say he eventually came up to eat i mean he would'nt eat at all in the big tank, and when i put him in the little tank he just ate the flakes that sank. but he eventually came up to the surface to eat. pedroman2 2008-06-05 Answer no. 4 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=black-moor-#5 he's fine now and feeds normally, i think he just needed time by himself pedroman2 2008-06-06 Answer no. 5 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=black-moor-#6 glad to hear it,enjoy your tank mickey 2008-06-06 Answer no. 6 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=black-moor-#7 thanks mick pedroman2 2008-06-06
