Generally speaking, a fish that will not eat is a sick fish. But that only applies if you are trying to feed him a normal amount of food. Try feeding him once or twice a day and only very little. Give him as much as he can eat in 2-3 minutes, that's all he needs to be health and happy.

Fish don`t need much food. Warm bloode creatures use 70% of their food energy to keep warm. Fish are cold blooded so don`t need much at all. having said that they do need to eat.or they will die.
Check water condition. maybe change water. don`t feed for three days then put a few live mosquito lavae in, if he don`t eat then you have a problem

fish don't eat a lot and they can't be anorexic either. fish eat when they want to. you can't make them eat. I have had fish before and they eat very little.

fsh dont eat alot anyway and he is probably eating the algee in the cage! dont worry and dont try to force feed him either. every other day try giving him a small amount of food.

Maybe he's sick. Top up his bowl with fresh water and make sure you don't feed him too much.

Anorexic doesn't mean he doesn't eat it means he eats and makes himself throw up later.

some fish eat their own dropings. If they are hungry they will eat. So don't be alert
