I havent been doing my regular maintenance on the baby monster tank and i have been feeding feeders before the transition so this is the end result. :(
 
Sucks lower digestive system dude!
 
Mine is about the same size and was doing really well, eating frozen smelt and shrimp, and now he is not eating that much and acting like he has parasites. Most of these small pima's come in with internal parasites and after about a month the parasites start taking over and killing the fish. I have seen several at the lfs with same looks and results. I have been treating my tank with prazi- pro and he is looking a little better but I think I will be in the same boat with you. Sorry for your loss.
