Don't worry man. He'll have time to reflect on it when his fish gets better or worse, dead. If the later, it would after grieving. LOL.

Idiots who don't have a problem getting their fish to eat.
These people are trying to help. Much like in medicine, the way to figure out what's wrong is by eliminating the variables that are NOT wrong. It's a simple process of elimination and as much as you don't want to take the time to answer some relatively simple questions, it really is necessary. For your cubans sake, I hope you find the time to LET the folks on this forum HELP YOU. Test your water, tell us about your tank including is inhabitants and tell us your feeding regimine. Then, we can help.
if the fish is new, internal parasites may be to blame. When you had it in quarantine did you use praziquantel (sp?) or any other meds? does the fish have white stringy feces?
The only way we can answer your question is with more info. We have no clue what's wrong with it and we can't just guess, they are a wide rage of things that can be wrong with it.
Since fish are cold blooded you should check the temp of the water. If it is too cold get a better heater heck if its too hot get a new heater and a thermometer at that!

Missed this one.....
Wow..... If you treat your fish like you treat the folks around here, it's no wonder he won't eat. Unfortunately, in fishkeeping, it's never the fishes fault if the keeper doesnt know how to care for their pets. 97% of all fish related issues are treatable if the keeper knows how to diagnose the situation and adjust or treat the environment accordingly. Could be parasites, could be bacterial, could be bullying, could be fish tb or is could just be lousy husbandry. Either way, it's not your fishes fault that YOU don't know how to care for it.
Act quickly or your fish will die. It's all up to you
