Feeder Fish

Hi,

My RD is around 4.5 inches and was in a perfect condition a month back.

I fed him small feeder fish less than a inch size one month back, to my surprise he ate all the 12 at one time. The problem started after that day. I examined all the feeder fish before giving it to FH, all of them seemed fine, with no visible diseases.

After that i found that FH started pooing white and stingy, which is hexamita and i tried giving him treatment according to various forums found on net. I added epsom salt (40gm for my 22 gal tank) with temp set to 30 deg C. This treatment went on for 5 days with no improvement in my fish. Also, metrodinazole was also dissolved in tank water.

The stomach of my fish is however not bloated, its shrunken ! But, the poo is white and stingy.

Could somebody please help me in this case, Its been around 30 days now he hasn't eaten. Though he is active and moving (but, obviously not energetically)

I have tried all sorts of food. he is not having dried bloodworms , grand sumo etc. He just ate few(4-5) live bloodworms when given to him around 10 days back.

There are no visible spots or marks on his body. Just that his stomach is "shrunken"
 
If he's eating the live bloodworms feed him those until he gains weight and is back to health, then you can try other things
