Need help or else fish might die : /

[Remyxo82]

Hello all,

I have a FH and bunch of other chiclids in my tank they have been together for over a year the FH is big as the size of my hand maybe a little bigger. With that being said, in the past week it has not eaten at all, usually when I put food in the tank he/she would be the first to grab most of the food. Clearly there is nothing wrong with what I feed my fish b/c all the other fish seems to be ok.

The FH is not eating anything and I'm worried that he/she would soon get weak and die. Any recommendation? The FH skin and fins looks normal a little fade in color.


Thank you for taking the time to read this post!

One last comment, maybe this has to relate with the comment above, for some odd reason anytime I purchased a PLECO at a local FS after several days it always dies as well. Maybe there something wrong with the water/ ph level i dunno. But like I stated before every other fish is doing well.

it sounds like bloat or internel parasite check its poo if its a white and stringy try epsen salt or parasite clear from jungel..

try something that gets rid of parasites just incase otherwise it might be stressed from being to crowded

is it safe to put in medication with other fish in the tank?

 

[Deep Blue Sea]

yep I do it all the time when I first get fish just to be safe

This might help above but how much espon salt should you add, lets say per 10g?

a tee spoon per ten gallon is what i used for my rtm and some parasite clear from jungel. u can google up the use for the epson salt for fish .
