Hi all, I have a red oscar that got ich in mid november and he's the only one that got it in the tank. It has been cured (I think) since last week.
But my problem now is it's not eating anything at all AFAIK, and before the ich he eats like a mad dog. It still swims normally, interacts with me when I'm near the tank, especially feeding time but right now he's not eating everything that I give in the tank. He just looks at the food then won't even touch it. He's really skinny right now since he did not eat that much when he had ich. It's been 2 weeks I think that I had not seen him took any food. Everyone else in the tank eats a lot since there are four 2-3" oscars in there.
As a comparison here's my tiger oscar (right) compared to the red oscar that got ich (left). They are roughly the same size when I purchased them, maybe the tiger is bigger that a few cm but as you can see right now the tiger is much much bigger than the red.
Is there anything that I could do to make him eat again?
I feed them pellets (hikari cichlid gold/bio-gold & massivore) as staple then MP's once or twice a week.
Thanks for anyone that can give me advice!
