	New female kribensis not eating!!!
JQW Fish Addict Posts: 869 Kudos: 758 Registered: 09-Apr-2003	[font color="#000080"]I bought a female kribensis last sunday. From the day i've bought her, i feed her once every day with vegetable based flakes. but she hasn't even touch the food once. It's 3 days now and i'm getting bit worried. She's behaving normal, happily exploring the tank environment. Swim around all the time and some times rest in her cave. She's not eating the flakes i feed her, but she seems to be hungry all the time and try to find food in my tank all the time. She trys to eat my plants, stuff from the filter, algae on glasses, and from the gravel. What could be wrong with her? Can someone help?

I know mine feed all their fish with frozen food and although they are 'always in perfect health' when they leave the shop, when people get them home and try them on flake/others, it must be like someone who eats rump steak every night to eat McDonalds. In all seriousness though, ask them, you may be surprised what they results are.
