is my FH very sick or is she fading?

[tenshi032]

hi guys, i have attached in 2 pic of my female FH, and would like to seek your opinion here if my female FH is very sick, or is she fading to another color?

i noticed that she has been staying in the corner of my tank since 2 weeks back. she isn't eating as much as compared to before this issue started.

i have tried putting in medication for internal parasites, daily water changes, increasing the pH level in the tank (previously was low, but after putting in crushed oyster, the pH went up to neutral level), tried feeding it with earthworm (she run away from the worm, no appetite at all). i put in a few pellet food and i think she went to bite and split out the pellets, but after awhile the pellets are gone, so i assumed she is still eating but very minimal.

i am worried if i am mistaking her change in color as being sick and continue my medication treatment on her. i wont want to keep stressing her with all the medication which is why i made this post for your advice.

appreciate all feedback, thanks in advance!

oh, when a FH goes through fading process, will it lose it’s appetite as well? cause mine isnt really eating well

I don’t know your water parameter but I’d stop medicating add salt and just do water changes. Maybe bump up the temp. FH are tough fish.
