    I have just developed my first serious problem with my 3 Diamondbacks which are one year old now. I just transferred them from a 15 gal tank to a 90 gallon tank and they have stopped eating (I moved them last Sunday and still no eating). 🙁 They always have eaten like pigs up until this – they loved smelt. It hopefully is just a stress thing that they will have to bounce back from. Water temp is 82 and with the heat lamp (for day) and ceramic heater (for night) and vitalite the basking temp is about 88 to compensate for a 72 degree day room temp. I tried to keep the salinity the same as before. They are still very active and not at all sluggish. Have you every had this type of a problem with Diamondbacks? Bob
