Hey guys! A few months ago I bought a group of WC Ecuadorian Festae. They were fine and healthy and ate pellets no problem. All of a sudden, the biggest male, wont even look at the food. Its been a week now, I figured he would get better but no. Ive been doing extra waterchanges ever since, still nothing. I figure it might be some sort of parasite? What do you guys think?
 
Is it only the one fish? Are the fish still in QT or in a tank with other fish? Have you noticed any white stringy feces? You could use API General Cure (Metro & Prazi) to treat for IPs.
 
Treat the fish for IPs. That would be my first corse of action.
