whats wrong with my GT?

[x3kenster]

well my gt is a juvie still but the second largest out of his juvie tank mates. he gets punked by the jd everytime the jd sees him and sometimes by the oscar when they feel like it. i dont know if hes sick or what but he doesnt eat or nor is active. he stays at the corner bottom of the tank and just lays ont he gravel. when he does swim, he swims like hes drunk and sometimes noses dive striaght into the gravel and just floats off the bumpy landing. everyone else in the tank are fine. eating well and very active. i thought it might have been the stress so i moved him into his own tank but still the same behavior out of him. what do you guys think is wrong with him?

thanks in advance!

Its real common for GT's to have internal parisites. You should try to post a picture of him for further diagnosis. Also thing like the tank size, all tankmates, and water parameters will help greatly with getting people to help you.

Take a look at these links, read the threads and see if any of this sounds firmiliar.

bloat I think it is caused by parasites but I'm not up on diseases

 

[Jdmxluv]

try medications for internal parasite. clout or ones from API
