Next time you feed, check to make sure the banded gets some food. If you don’t any food floating down to him, then you should spot feed him using a turkey baster. If food is reaching him and he’s not eating, your fish may be sick. If it’s the latter, check again for another day then return to this post and update us
I don't think he's sick, he just isn't eating enough. He's very shy compared to the Golden Head and has never been super active so getting him to chase after food hasn't been an option. I'll try the baster. It might be the only way food gets to the bottom of the tank. I should also note that that I have a ton of pods living in my tank so the sand bed should be fairly alive.
