Hi, ive rescued a blood parrot fish about 10 days ago and shes in 450L tank. 2-3 days after ive rescued her i saw she is flashing so i started treatment with prazipro. the flashing has stopped, but yesterday she started to spit her food and not swallowing at all , even very small pieces. the tank is well filtered and water quality is great and she is getting alone well with the tankmates. other then spitting theres no signs of illness. Do you have any reccomendations on what to do?

Blood parrots play with their food quite a bit intentional and unintentionally due to their mouth defect from hybridization. I wouldn’t be too concerned give it time
 
no its not that.. i know how healthy spitting looks likethats not the case.. she is spitting cuz something is wrong and today she stopped even trying to eat..
