:swear:OK DON'T START FLAMING BEFORE YOU READ THIS OK :swear:​

Well he has not been eating anything latley and i refuse to give him frozen food since he won't touch pellets in other words he is being a little punk.
So after 1 week he is just sulking around and i noticed that he is developing HITH:nilly: so now i need your help please on what i should do i clean his tank every week he won't eat and i always check that everything on the tank is working so i don't know what to do :( .​

:nilly:PLEASE HELP ME AND LOCO MFK:nilly:​
 
Well, if you're certain that water quality isn't contributing then it'd be worth investigating HITH treatments, i'm not sure what you can get hold of there. Esha Hexamita is good.

Also, have a look at your maintenance routine, % of water you change each week, filtration, gravel cleaning, etc. All basic stuff but worth going over to see if you've missed anything :)

I'd feed it some frozen for now to make sure it's eating. You can always go back to pellets later on.

once the carbon is removed feed mysis, the omega 3s and fatty acids will help him heal hell of alot quicker.
also if you want, you can use an metronidazole based medication to kill any remaining infection.
