Be patience. It can go without food for weeks. Add black water and just a few ml of transmore to calm the fish.

Dim the lights to let it calm down.

Try feeding the aro from week 2 onwards.

How ar??
baby silver is like tat... make sure fully covered tank

if can leave a small light on 24/7
when they cant see they very jumpy.

avoid sudden light on... also if can get ketapang leaves to blacken the water will even calm it. cheap 1 dollar packs at fish shop , those no brand one... make sure look clean , rinse and put in sump... ot tie a few pics together drop in tank , make the O Kosong. it helps... normal for a new environment not eat, a few days is v normal.

Thanks all for the advise.. really appreciate it.

As of this morning, the bugger's already loads better and I'm seeing the GS in the tank greatly reduced.

At the very least, din drop more scales, din rush around, din get spooked when i threw the escape artists back into the tank.
