As some of you know, i recently bought 3 lucius and they were doing really good!
Lately though, the "boss", the biggest of the 3 has not been eating and is not moving much..
The other 2 are still doing well!..eating like pigs, swimming around..no problems there!

I cant see any obvious signs of something wrong, no spots, no discoloration, no heavy breathing..no nothing!...i am stumped!..the only thing i can think of, is that it might have an internal parasite or constipation but it is not bloated either..

I feed them bloodworms, krill, pellets, worms and once i gave them some small feeders..

My water is 26 degrees c.
Ph 6.4, GH 12, ammonia=0 NO2=0
I change 25% water everyday

Hope any of you can help me with this..!!
 
same thing happened to my bleheri's first they wont touch the food, any kind even live feeders then they'd just hang out on the water line, then they'd swim in funny angles then just pass away much like bloat.. i've lost 6 bleheri's to this

my pleuros on the other hand had the same symptoms treated them with epsom salts and the standard bloat procedure no feeding and water changes, i was able to save them..

i still dont know what exactly they were suffering from but my bleheris had some blood coming out from it anus when i examined their corpses..

i hope this helps and your SH get well...:)
