Post subject:  Trout not eating
I picked up my trout on sunday got them in the tank and they all seem happy.
The only problem is they aren't eating.
The only thing I could think might be possible is the water is green so I thought they could be eating the slime.

water readings this morning were PH-6.4, AMM-0, Nitrate- 0.

I have the tank covered with shade cloth now so hoping the green goes away.

Also the fish aren't on the surface gasping so I figure they are happy with the amount of oxygen in the water, I do have the pipework set up for a venturi as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Where did you buy them from?

Lots of people (including me) are having similar issues:

Thanks.
I thought the algae might of been the problem.
does the PH seem to low should I do something with that or that's fine.

I got the fish from rupertofoz, we are a long way from you so I doubt they have came from the same hatchery.

Yeah, definitely not from the same hatchery... :lol:

Keep the tank covered and aerated... and get rid of the algae.....

pH isn't a problem at the moment.... but watch it once you do start feeding...
