yesterday i noticed my ck had a cloudy white bump on his eye, his body fin looked white and ragged on the tip all the way from front to back, his other fins are clamped, doesnt eat, and barely moves. the other fish are fine. i did a 50% w/c with stress coat, added salt, bumped the temp up 1 degree, and left the lights off. what do you think is wrong and what else could i do? should i just wait and see what happens?
 
has he been eating and has anything changed?]'
any tankmates picking on him?
 
he was eating fine until the day his fins looked like crap, and my 12" gibby is a nasty mutha and almost constantly chases/attacks him at night. he is out and swimming today but still no eating,fins look a little better but both eyes are cloudy. i have no way to separete these fish, all my tanks are full:(
 
Well either a tank divider, or a trip to the LFS to drop one off. If the gibby is chasing him, you will likely wake up to a dead CK very soon.
 
well it seems that the pleco has quit being an ass for now. the ck's eyes are clearing up but still no eating. i did another 50% w/c today with stress coat and salt, well see what happens.
 
A few days without food isn't going to hurt him. He will eat once he feels better.
