Okay for almost a week my two red zebras haven't been eating. They are in a 55 gallon tank with 3 scolofi, 4 yellow labs, and another larger red zebra. They just don't want to eat. When I feed them they do sort of come to the surface and will take in the food but they just spit it back out again. I haven't noticed any strange behavior besides that. No heavy breathing. No stringy feeces. Thier bellies are still green with sprinula. Any ideas?

Not much help but it's still something.

Okay now im pretty sure she has bloat but she has been hangin in there in her ten gallon for like a week. Yes! Im trying to find clout for her because I heard that will work but it might be while it being the holiday season and alot is going on. Im hoping she will make it but it dosen't look good 
Peas are natures laxative for fish. Garlic creates an internal enviorment that parasites can't stand. If all your feeding the Zebra is Supirulina I seriously doudt it's bloat. If his belly is really swollen it could be round worm, I lost a Cobalt Zebra to round worm awhile back. If it is you can actually see them on his anus. The anus would be red with extremely small strings. If the fish hasn't eatin' in awhile and is knockin' on deaths door try Jungle parasite clear tabs w/praziquantel it might work it might not without a 100% accuratly identifying the cause - all treatments are a shot in the dark.
