frontosa not eatgin

[bunty82]

for the past 4 days my 3 inch frontosa didnt ate a thing.His stomach is also bit tucked in. I posted in the disease related forum but no satisfactory answer a fellow hobbyist said they are finiky eater and dont eat much sometimes. I Qt him for 1 day and next day put him back with his mates hoping he will eat but he is not eating.what to do.

Could be internal parasites. Possibly treat with Prazi-Pro or Parasite Clear (you want the praziquantel medication. Both contain praziquantel).

I would wait to see if the problem gets worse.

He didnt ate today also. movement is but slow.And stomach is get in.over all body is also dried up.We dont get Prazi-pro here. will search for praziquental.

he was moving in irregular manner so put him into hospital tank and put 1 tab of metrodizole and epsom salt.Sadlly within an hour time he was dead.
seems like the infection gulped my fish.

dont worry too much, fronts can go a LONG time without eating. if he is new to the tank he may be settling down. putting him in the quarintine tank and adding meds might make him worse (stress). Give him time, he will come around.
