You mentioned that it is in a tank with other fish,what are they and what do they eat?...I think it would best if you could get it into a small tank of its own and try some guppies.Leave about ten or fifteen in there so the dat can pick them off on its own while not having to compete for them and you can monitor the frequency it eats them...is it showing any signs of infection?

Agree with KRich. He looks healthy, just skinny. Definitely a Q tank would help.

Thanks Strollo.If it is left to settle in on its own without other fish to contend with, the small prey items moving around should entice it to go after and eat them thus building the NGT's strength...
