Albino Channa Striata not eating.

[GianDC]

Hello Everyone,

I purchased a 7-8 inches snake head from a local pet store. I've been keeping him for a month now and he still doesn't seems interested in eating. Please help / suggest anything you know to for him to adopt in his new home. Years I've been keeping snake heads for years and this is the only one that I have a problem with. I'm keeping him in a 50 gallon tank. feeding him with 1 inch size feeders. Setting temperature for 32°C.

Thankyou.

32°c is a little high. Turn it down to 28°c and i bet he will start eating.

32 is high like Gaz said. When i got my little fella (same one like yours) he ate second day but my temperature was 26. Striatas like temperatures from 24-28 max 30. They can live up to 32 but as a tropical fish prefers the mid 25s
