Default SBKM not eating after intro

Hey friends,

Caught a SBKM roughly about 3.5'' 1 week ago.
Tank mates include fei fong, and endy (similar size). Ever since introduction into tank, SBKM has been refusing to eat. Been throwing japanese floating pellets, hikari sinking carnivourous pellets, frozen blood worms, live shrimps. The other 2 mates have been eating well and responds well to the different diet i throw in.

SBKM swimming well and very active.
water para including ph (7.2) all good. Ext filtration system.

any experienced bros or sis can offer any advice or assist please?

KMs take a longer time to stabilise itself. My previous sbkm took close to 3 weeks before it started feeding. Once it starts, it eats alot.

Yes, they puke you need to do big WC

As SB means deform, the stomach probably is quite deformed too, hence they easily throw up. Give the fish a few weeks to relax.. Don't spook it.. It ill eventually eat
