Default Pacu not eating...

I have a 3 year old Pacu in a 55 gal tank. (I am planning on getting a
bigger
tank as soon as I can afford to) He is approx. 15 in. and the only other
fish
in the tank is a pleco who is about 6 in.

We moved about an hour away from our old place about 2 months ago. I know
the
trip was pretty traumatic for him, especially since he freaked out when I
moved him from his tank into the bin I used for travel and he jumped out
of
the bin onto the floor for a few seconds until I was able to catch him and
put him back in the bin. I was in tears thinking I had killed my fish.

How far did he fall? Could he be suffering from an internal injury? Is the
water a similar PH and hardness to what was at your old place?

Have you tried fruit like bits of apple, orange or peas and corn? Or seeds
like sunflower and safflower? Try anyting to get him started eating.
