Hi fam,

So I have 1 LMB he‘s roughly 1,5-2‘‘ and 3 european redfin perch 4-5‘‘ in a different tank.

The redfin perch were shy from the start and wouldnt eat much. Which is very unnatural for them.

And now the bass starter getting shy / scared and isnt eating.
Sometimes they flash their gills but very Rarely.
Used to keep perch growing up and noticed that at some point no matter how careful I was they would eventually get parasites?

Right now I’m treating the perch with esha2000 as I don’t now what exactly they have.

Has anyone had the same Problem and did you get rid of it ?
 
How long was the tank set up prior to adding them.? If they weren't cycled prior to adding them, they may be going through a cycle which could be stressing them out. I would start with water testing and see if any parameters are off and go from there. If parameters are fine, could be a parasite, posting pictures or vid would help.

What are your water parameters? The other option would be some sore of illness/parasite.
