Sounds like shes pouting but two weeks is quit a while.

i know, i have tried little shrimp, mabe she could chas them to coax her to eat, the local LFS even sold me something to put in the filter to increas her hunger but nothing....she looks like she wans to eat, but turns her back on me, color is even starting to change a bit darker :(

poor gal, not a good sign... nitrate/nitrates levels ok Amanda? Water temp?

I am so sorry. I hope she makes a recovery. Is there anyone in the new tank that could be stressing her?

no, just her, its a 55, should be enough, i do water changes every week, all my levels are good...water and temp and all are perfect...she wants her old tiny home back....

Sorry amanda but that fish shouldn't be in a 55. What size tank did you take her from?

Our Oscar pouted for a couple days once after a move, he even looked like our albino. But 2 weeks is a really long time :(

Cool she'll enjoy the extra room. She's a big girl.

PH is okay? Maybe the tank she came from was sub-par and although your setup is solid, she's used to crappy water, low PH, high nitrates, etc. I have seen that before.
