do bigger w/c gravel vac weekly 200g’s -
background - there may have been some bass with internal parasites ( from unnamed vendor) at one time - noticed occasional flashing - treated 3 weeks or 3 doses of prazi pro / salt / 84deg temp in the past - no new fish introduced prior to its current behavior
- sailfin pictus not eating 2 weeks
- low activity, flashing on side, maybe a barrel roll or two
- he is showing interest in food but not actually eating
- before sick he was eating all the food, krill, pellets (all), and tilapia
- last food he had was bloodworms one day and krill the next
- he did eat some bloodworms about when this current behavior began, id presumed he ate some gravel while gobbling up blood worms, the gravel is the smallest size possible and i’d imagine his anus is around a cm.
- treated recently two weeks ago 4th round of prazi for the tank and salt 8lbs epson for 750g’s and temp is at 82
- ive done two large extra water changes this week - he does seem better -
- id imagine i’ll pull him out in 2 weeks and put him in a 75g to medicate him?
am i missing something? thoughts?
thanks in advance all!
