I got a couple of false percs at Pure Reef exactly a month ago. From Day 1, they've eaten like they were starving. I feed them once a day (usually pellets, but Rod's and Mysis every so often), and they always act like they haven't seen food in a month. I understand that's pretty normal.
For the past three days, though, the little one just hasn't seemed interested in eating. It's not that the big one is chasing him off the food. He just looks at the pellets and acts like it isn't worth the effort to swim after it.
After two days of not eating pellets, I tried some Rod's today. The big one ate it like he was never getting another meal. The little one, though, would try a piece every once in awhile, but I saw him grab and then spit out at least 20 pieces. I didn't see him actually swallow even one, and he definitely didn't have anywhere near the ravenous-shark behavior that the large one had and that he usually displays when I feed Rod's.
As someone who killed four unkillable betas when he first started this hobby, I'm VERY anxious.
Should I be worried about this?
