Hi there, I hope everyone is well 
I'm trying to treat my Gold Saum who has stopped eating now for about 2 weeks now and is moping around the tank. Can someone help me please?
Below is some info - any advice would be massively grateful !!
Symptoms:
Randomly now have snails crawling on front of class now (assuming Fluke Solve is working).
240l / 60gal tank.
I'm in the UK so limited treatments.
Sorry for the long message but hope I've provided everything! Let me know if i missed anything.
Big thanks in advance!!

I'm trying to treat my Gold Saum who has stopped eating now for about 2 weeks now and is moping around the tank. Can someone help me please?
Below is some info - any advice would be massively grateful !!
Symptoms:
- Swimming lethargically but still able to move quickly (looks like he is struggling to turn a bit)
- Not eating / taking food down (seen him take food in mouth but spits it back out)
- Slightly sunken belly , no stringy white poop.
- He still has his colour (probably from the vitamins)
- Fed a thawed prawn and few days pass with no eating.
- 1 week passes with Gold Saum not eating. Suddenly my Chinese Algae Eater dies.
- Gave fish Epsom Salt bath for 20 minutes with suspected constipation. + 25% water change.
- Next Day.. another 25% water change.
- Few days passed, still not eating... treated water with Vitazin multivitamins
- threw in some boiled, de-shelled peas soaked in Epsom Salt
- Next day **thinking of Chinese Algae Eater dying a few days ago** - added Interpet Anti Internal Bacteria
- Few days pass and no improvements.. Also added Epsom Salts directly to tank
- Yesterday morning - treated with Fluke Solve (Praziquantel) & increased water temp by 2/3 degrees f.
