I have a Green Terror in a 75 gallon tank. I've had him for a few weeks now and he hasn't really been eating at all. He has a sunken in belly and now today I'm noticing this milky patch on his sides. It's not near the gills so I don't know if he has ich or not. I have him with one green severum and a dwarf crayfish. I got the severum thinking maybe the company would help him start eating but he hasn't really improved. The severum is doing fine. I'm particularly worried today because he's been hiding out under the lip of the filter plus noticing those patches as well. Please help me figure out what I can do for this guy. This pic doesn't show it too well but there's a slight discoloration towards his midsection.

I see nothing in the pix.

What are you attempting to feed? You know they re mainly herbivores?
 
Have you tried deworming?

Am asking not because of the patch but because of the sunken belly you describe.
 
You guys have a loft of adequate stuff for that in the states. I am in europe....

Do a search for deworming with the search function in the sub forum Diseases.
 
Get Tetra Parasite Guard. Its very easy to use and very effective. Just follow the directions.

as for food you might want to try Hikari Bio-Gold instead of just the hikari Gold.
