My fish is about 4 inches in length. He has not eaten on his own since i got him. That was more than 2 weeks ago. First i noticed white stringy poo coming out from him from the lfs. I began reading on what the remedy is to this ailment. So i treated him with the 3% epsom salt. Manually using a 1 cc syringe to force it down his stomach. I then mixed crushed food with the solution so he would have some nourishment. After 3 days of just epsom, he still would not take anything. So i started giving him metronidazole following the dosage from a thread also from this forum. He is due for his 4th dose of metronidazole today. Still not interested in food. I tried pellets and freeze dried krill. His poop are not stringy anymore but still white and appear mucoid and spherical. about a quarter of an inch in diameter.
He doesn't appear weak though. But his head slightly did decrease in size. He is housed in a 55 gallon tank by himself. All water parameters are fine using api test kit.
I am still unable to post pictures since i am still new to this forum.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
