My fronts belly is pointing a Little inwards, guessing its from not eating.. Im gonna try and get some new food for her. Working on the angle that shes bored of the food im feeding her right now. Do you recommend feeding flounder fillet? Should i try feeding her Pleuronectes platessa fillet? (Pleuronectes platessa is some sort of a flounder) If yes, Im guessing i should just remove the bones and cut it into Little pieces? I usually just feed pellets, and frozen shrimp.. But maybe the flounder is a good idea.. Anyone with and input about this would be welcome to answer me :D
 
Maybe you could try getting some nls thera-a pellets with garlic to get her eating again. Try soaking the current food that you are offering in garlic extract. A quality pellet as a staple is all the fish really needs. If you wanna feed some type of fish then why not try tilapia/mussels. If the fish still does not eat i would start suspecting internal parasites as a problem or other illness

Ok, i was told it was possible that she was just bored of the good.. Im gonna try soaking the shrimps in garlic extract. If that does not Work, ill try to buy some flounder fillet (Though i had some) If that dosnt Work, ill try epsom salt, and if that does not Work.. ill try live Again. (Tryed earthworms, no succes)

I'm guessing that you make the garlic extract your self? I just asked every store around me (2 stores) and they all looked at me like i was a crazy person. If you make it your self, could you give me a receipe? I'd be very thankful then.
 
If you can't find the extract that seachem offers locally in Denmark and ordering it is too long, then maybe you should go and check out a health store or pharmacy? Garlic extract is readily available
