I've been following some of your posts about your bass. I have to admit I'm going through a very similar situation. My guys were killing pellets for a while. Then they just stopped and it's been like 8 months and they will only eat live food. They sometimes will go to swallow pellets but spit them out. I've treated the tank for a few different diseases with no luck.

One is kelberi and the other is melaniae. They eat so sparingly now and I just cant figure out what's wrong with them. I've had bass in the past that were such crazy eaters that I had to get rid of them. They were stuffing like 5 pieces of tilapia filet in their mouths. Sometimes they will eat feeders but then throw them up hours later.most of the time they dont throw up.
Quick update on Luther status. He kept getting small pits after the 2nd general cure treatment. Extended treatment with metroplex for 6 more days.
He is looking good and have not seen flashing for a week. He is eating a lot of feeders with lots of vitachem. Keeping salt at 1ppt for now. His hump seems to be getting bigger. I have decided that I will no longer use carbon in the filter. Will continue with salt and feeders for a few weeks.
Hope to do another photo op after he is in the clear.
Here he is at about 4 months old. Skinny dude who didn't want to eat!
