I agree--1st thing to check is water parameters. Please post them. Did you try the garlic? I'm sory to say, they have a very poor suces rate in captivity--difficlut to get them to eat & most come in with IPs. Try treating the tank with anti-internal parasite meds. Go to www.**************.com & look n their library foran article on that.
