So on February 10th I put my striped raphael cat into my 75 from my 30. He wasn't acting right from the start. He would come out during lights on, swim and breath frantically, doesn't eat (1.5 months later still hasn't). I tried giving him salt baths: didn't work. I tried medicating with general cure: didn't work. I tried feeding every imaginable food under the sun: didn't work. At this point I don't know how he has gone that long without eating. For a while he was shedding slime coat but thankfully that stopped. I really can't tell at this point if he is still sick or has just adopted nocturnal habits. Occasionally he still goes on swims during lights on but he has always done that. I know I'm impatient but I've been waiting for almost 2 months now to put ny centerpiece fishes in and it's getting annoying. I keep hearing different things. Some people say don't put any fish in since now there are parasites in my water and others say parasites are always in the water and it's just the fish. I have him in with a sailfin pleco and giant danios and neither of them show any signs of sickness. I worry about putting more fish in since one of them that I have reserved is still very young and very expensive (2" and $64). Do you guys think I can put fish in yet? Should i keep treating him or let what happens happen?
