Royal Gramma hasn't been seen eating for three days.
No sign of ich.
No sign of anything really.. just hanging out in his corner. Like the day i got him (February) hasn't touched pellets, flakes with garlic, or mysis. Actually let's mysis "bounce" of him. I did notice a few weeks ago he was doing that as well.
He does still protect his part of the tank. He owns about half... Even won't let the clowna near it.

My favorite food for finicky fish (especially in quarantine) is LRS' Fish Eggs. If they don't eat that, then I'm not sure what else to say except hopefully it will start to eat relatively soon.

Can you post a short video under white light? Without any other symptoms than lack of feeding, it is difficult to say what could be going one. A video will sometimes show me a clue that a still picture doesn't - like the second one above looks like a perfectly healthy gramma.

Also, take a look at the link below my name here. It leads to a post that offers suggestions for information that is helpful in us diagnosing issues for folks.

Thanks,

Jay

well fed some omega one flakes with garlic today, he attacked every flake, fought off the clowns, and gorged himself. maybe he was just being a jerk, and trying to scare me?
And appears to be successful!
Sometimes, weird things happen in the glass box.
I have a YT that stops eating for a week every six months or so, been doing that for 4 years.....just plain weird.
He’s ate, so all back to normal.
