Absolutely! Get the temp back up, feed well, give him some garlic. What I do for carnivores is thaw out some mysis, press into a paper towel to really dry it, then crush up some fresh garlic and cover the mysis. I use wax paper to fold it and ensure the garlic gets soaked up in the food. Feed away, and he should come around.

I will make sure I do that! Thanks for the advice!

Tank transfer. I went from a 90 gallon system to a 140 gallon.

Keep the heat up! The double stress of a tank move and the 73 degrees will cause an outbreak.
