I put my fish in a new tank about a week ago and ever since I put him in his new home he will not eat. It is like he is depressed or mad at me or something. I have come to enjoy Norman.

Any fish experts out there:cry: How do I get Norman to eat?

As cute as it may be to personify a fish, it's not quite able to be depressed. What kind of fish is it? Where did you get the water for the new tank? When fish don't eat it's most often a parasitic infection.

my cockatiel was the same way when I got him a new house. No singing, eating or nothing, just sat on a perch so forlornly. Then, he got accustomed to it and was a happy bird again. Maybe fish are the same way....need to get accustomed to his new surroundings, unless he is sick or something.

It was the same temperature as the old one. As I waited 24 hours before changing him over.

I have had him for almost a year now. He is a Chinese Fighting Fish (a Betta). I did the tank like I have always done it. got the water from my bathroom tank added the water purifier and waited 24 hours before putting him in.
