Does fish also suffer Jet-Lagged??

[spaceman]

Just got some Caribbean's fish from Iwarna. They are really stress and exhausted.

worse, not eating...

My sis laugh and joked that they are all jet-lagged!!! I realised that could be a factor since they are from America!!

Anyone also think so? and how to help them adjust to Singapore timing!!

hi there bro,

if you got either the royal grammas or black caps, they'll hide for a couple of days. try squirting frozen mysids into its direction (either past its borrow or hiding place) and it should venture to eat a few.

cheers,

ian

Hmm my royal gamma from the same shipment also not coming out. It keeps hiding didnt really see it eat.

Pretty afraid it will not make it. Cant monitor it 24hrs cos i got work from morning to evening.

Anyway good luck to you bro. Hope our fishes will come out soon healthy and strong. cheers.

Nope, they don't really suffer from Jet-lag. Most RG n BC will hide themselves for a couple of days to week before they reappear to eat or scout around (depends very much on the new tank n tankmate) So just let them be, they can go well w/o food for a couple of days. You only need to start worrying when they don't start sneaking around in 3 days.

Try cyclopzee. My royal gamma starts to eat cyclopzee on the first day. 2nd day, frozen mysis float by and it eat too.
