Bala Shark Not eating

[ArtsofMurder]

I have 1 Bala Shark it is about 5 Inches long and he doesnt eat , he swims up and down the walls of the side of the tank all day and night and doesnt eat, atleast i dont see him eat...i feed my fish just regular fish flakes and all of the other fish eat except for him. Is there a reason he just swims up and down the walls all day and does not eat? Thanks

I had this problem with my gourami. Of cource its dead now, but it didn't die from this. How long ago did you get it?

 

[ArtsofMurder]

I got it about 2 maybe 2 1/2 weeks ago. He was eating for eating and swimming normal for about 2-3 days then he started swimming upand down the walls and not eating.

[ArtsofMurder]

Nope, normal..

Might be internal parasites. I'm not very sure now.
