Redtail/shovelnose hybrid won’t eat!

[Fishgirl98]

One more question, before our tiger shovelnose (not this hybrid I am asking about) was put into the pool pond he was with my hybrid (before this not wanting eat thing happened) my hybrid was eating perfectly fine. He stopped eating after the shovelnose was taken out. Could it have something to do with that or not possible?

I gather by implication that the tsn was the larger of the two?

yes he was, he’s about 10” now

hybrid is 6 1/2” - 7 “

Then yes, it is possible that the disappearance of a larger tank mate could be stressful for the hybrid. Often a disruption of this sort can upset a fish and make it feel unsafe. Dithers and tankmates are important in this regard.

Those fish should never have a life in that size tank fullstop. If you want to tell us other wise I suggest you find advice elsewhere. This is a monster fish keepers forum as is seen in the title. Your currently talking to some of the world's most knowledgeable people about monster fish. Wind that neck in and read the advice given. If you don't like the advice. Sorry in advance lol

While you're correct in the substance of your comment, the manner you choose to deliver it could use some work.

She's already apologized, and is taking the advice. No need for this.

if you did not read I did apologize and it is figuring of some of these people to come at me saying“unfortunately for me, my fish will not last a couple months” when I have mentioned he has a bigger tank set up for him. He is actually now just put in itand we got bloodworms. Holy heck on you for even replying. Have a good day. The administrator came to me the right way. The piranahaman00 or whatever his name is did not.

Thank you to everyone who helped me! I will update this thread when he eats in the 150(or if he doesn’t). Thank you to the administrator the most for helping with the way some of these people came at me but I appreciate all the advice and it will all be taken ?

You're quite welcome. Hopefully your hybrid eats, and I do solemnly swear that my MFKers will try their best to talk you into a 500 gallon tank before too long!
