If it hasn't been eating and it looks like a ropefish, it may have parasites.....whether this is true or not, it definitely means it hasn't eaten in a long time. If possible, use prazipro. Keep the lights off, put some driftwood/hiding place, and keep your water crystal clear. Best of luck!!

Post a pic of it and will be a judge of it. But I'd it's not eating still then just treat for now in case. Could be too sick to eat.
