I have a tank with a blue jack dempsey and a “bla bla” cichlid (thats what they called it, i dont know if its the technical name) it has a lot of colors around his eyes. The problem is that they arent eating. I tried cichlid sticks and granules, i also tried brine shrimp but they arent eating much especially the jack dempsey…what should i do?
I dont want to sound like water chemistry cures all answerer here, but have you checked your water chemistry lately? First sound of sypmtom sounds like elevated nitrites lack of appetite, but that does not in any way rule out a parasite infection either. How new is the tank, how long have they occupied the tank also would be helpful here. Check your water chemistry, and if it’s clear, and tank is established for months now, then I’d be looking for a parasite problem. How long have you observed thier normal behavior?

Give your fish shrimp pellets! I swear,fish of all types can’t resist!Also buy the jumbo freeze dried shrimp/krill,they like it alot,and its really good for their color!
