stunted raphael

[Fishy411]

ok i have had my raphael for about 6-7 mo's. He has not grown any since i got him. He was in a 10 gallon eating like a pig but now hes in my much larger 55 gallon he has stopped eating. If he doesnt eat tonight i will put him back in the small tank and see if he eats. He has been there since last friday and now im getting worried. Also the fact that he hasnt grown is bothering me

I had a similar problem.... i've been told they take absolutely ages 2 grow.... my 4 small 1's i got 3-4 months ago haven't grown a smidgin & i never c them eat. Although they must do... else they wouldn't last long would they!

Have u tried live blood worm etc in the tank?

i havent tried bloodworm yet but i will get some tomorrow. He was eating fine and then i got back from vacation to find that hes not eating and i have a platy MIA. I o put him back in the small tank bcuz he likes to pick through tthe rocks to find all that old stuff wedged in there.
