He will occasionally swim around but is spending most of his time either sitting on the sand or floating up near the top. He hasnt had a feed for around 3 weeks and doesnt even look at the food i put in. I dosed the tank with salt and have had the temp at 28 ( where as i usually keep it at 24 during the winter ). I just bought some Fluke and Tapeworm medication, no idea if this will help but its what i was recommended to try at the LFS. I've tried new pellets, peas, live mealworms, frozen bloodworm along with his normal pellets and hes taking no notice.
There is no sign of any bulging/bloating, stringy poop or flashing so its got me stumped. The only thing i can see is that his breathing is heavy these past few days, ive added an airstone and have a heap of surface movement. I bought another ammonia test kit which is showing zero, so that isnt the problem either. If anything he looks thin, but i guess thats understandable after not eating for so long.
The blue acara i added seems to be a little picky with food but is still eating/pooping/swimming normally, so im guessing its nothing in the water.
