Red Severum Stopped producing Slime

[djm761]

The large Red Severum we adapted last spring has had problems with external parasites for about a month now,she was housed in the 220g community tank and none of the other fish show any signs of parasites, We just pulled the Sev out of the community tank and put her into QT, In the process we made it a point to rub and sniff her and to our surprise she was slime free or at least undetectable by touch. A very very dry fish to say the least.

Has any one had a problem like this, what could or should be done to get the fish to start producing slime again.

Thanks in advance.

I've never had that problem but stress szyme is a product used help rebuild stress coats. Also what is your tanks ph?

I should say the nitrates stay around 20 ppm and our ph is always in the neutral zone.

(added) Her appetite is very good, she ate in the QT tank.

We moved the severum back to the community tank this evening she looks much better and is definitely happier, she had a dose of clout while in QT plus the stress coat and salt, she had no Signs of parasites, so I did a water change in the 220 and added some epsom salt and stress coat, and tonight she ate like a sow, it looks likes she loves me again last night she didn't. thanks again for the help.
