Tiny Tim, my eastern painted, hasn't been eating well as of late. I recently moved and thought that maybe the car ride stressed him out a little, but its been about a week and he went from maybe 15 reptomin sticks a day down to 2-3 sticks.

The other thing is that the water seems to have a oil like film on top that and I don't know what is causing it or if it may be contributing to him not eating well.

I cleaned out the filter when we moved using hot water and a sponge. I'm going to clean it out again tonight and pick him up some crickets and bloodworms tomorrow to see if he will eat them.

Any other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jordan
