I had fish in my exiting tank that is a yellowish/greenish/brown with green spots on it. My wife likes the way he looked so I bought another one (along with a couple other fish, including an electric blue). The existing fish is about 2-3 inches big, the new one is about 1.5 inches or so. The existing fish up today was fine, in fact was chasing around the new fish on day one a lot. Now today, 3 days later the exiting fish isn't eating. He swims fine and is not being attacked. Other than not eating is acting the same.

I know one day of not eating is not a big deal, but curious if he/she is pregnant, or something else can be wrong. I feed the fish a mixture of flakes and pellets two times a day, and put romaine lettuce in the tank once or twice a week. So any ideas on why the fish may not me eating? My only idea was the fish maybe pregnant.
