I have had this ropefish for about 6 months..
The beginning he was very out and about and eating every feed...

Now he is so timid I rarely see him. I know that is normal, but its like when I feed them, he pokes his head out and then slithers back in his cave...

I lifted his "home" to take a look at him and when I say he looks skinny... he has shrunk half his size. I do believe he stopped eating.

No there is no outside issues that I can see. He looks healthy externally...

How do you treat something you can't see.

Sorry, I am also at work, I will post water parameters when I get home.

Anyone else have this type of experience?

I'm half positive or contemplating it must be a internal parasite.

Any advice would be awesome!
 
I’d try dosing some levamisole with a repeat dose.
 
Do you have any pictures?
