yikes, get the heat around a comfy 82 or so, and add some salt eventually... dont spook the fish, and id leave the lights out for a few days to let him chill.... Good luck. Remember tho dont over medicate and do a waterchange eventually.
 
You are already doing the right thing. Although I would have left the pima out. All else I am o.k. with. The eating is not the issue. Heal him up and he will eat again :)

you need the pima with the mela to get the heal properties

the blue medication i reeeeeaaally wouldnt add.


btw he wont eat because he got his ass beat pretty good :)

is that the RD in youre avatar? like everyone else said...let him relax and he should be ok?

i also agree w/ Del. why put in the blue stuff??? his internals should be fine.
 
Try not to get to much diff med to be mix in the same tank, could be bad. Like everyone say leave the light off or try to make it dark so he is not as spooked and will heal faster. Eating is not the problem, he fine for couple day to week depend on his size. Hope for the best, he look pretty beat but i don't see anything major.
