Ok I'm gonna do my best to follow the suggested format from memory because I can't refer back to it since I'm on my phone. So 90 gallon, api test kit read 10ppm nitatrates, 0 nitrites and ammonia and ph at 7.2. Inhabitants are 8 green terrors 2 @ 4-5 inches 2 @ 2 inches and 4 at 1.5 inches, 2 red terrors 1 @ 2.5 inches the other@ 2 inches, 1 common pleco @ 7 inches. Every 4 days I do a 25 gallon water change every other water change is a thorough gravel vac. I have not treated anything in this tank. It has been set up for about 2 months. I have a rena xp3 on it. I clean the filter media about once a month and skip a water change when I do to allow maximum rebuild of bio media. I think that's it. So I had a male g/t jump 2 months ago so I went and got a replacement. I set up this tank and put the two big g/ts and the r/ts with the pleco in. And started my cycle. Cycle went normal everything was fine eccept the new g/t he hasent eaten at all eccept once. I feed a large varied diet of flake pellet and frozen. He's allways been real skinny his stomach is sunken in. And sometimes if you look close he has a little transparent whitish colored stream of poo I think coming from his vent. So anyone feel free I want to get this fixed and get him healthy its bee 2 months now. Thanks

So I guess I dident reall ask a ?. I don't know what this is and can't find any for sure info on a cause I keep coming across parasites. But don't want to treat until I ask a few others. I have never even dealt with ich. I have gotten pretty lucky in my 14 years of keeping fish. So any help will be apprieciated. Thanks.
So at 21 views is it safe to say there is no advise? Ok lets try baby steps should I quarantine the fish I have a cycled (empty) tank with the same ph and temp? Ireally need help in every book I've read I've skipped the disease and infection part. I've never delt with anything. If you need more info let me know. I just really want this fish to be as healthy as all my other fish. I don't mean to sound pushy and I'm sorry if I do. I'm really concerned for the fish.
So I read about 10 postings down and then about 15 postings down others are having my same problem will follow as directed and sorry for the thousands of posts in my own thread.
