Ropefish seems very ill suddenly

Not sure much else can be done. I’d try some maracyn2. If not better then consider euthanizing. Had a lot of rope fish do this and not recover.

Yeah so I put in some cod fish yesterday. Of course it went untouched as he’s still just sitting upright or flailing around sadly. Usually when fish look this bad they pass within a day. He’s still holding on, not eating so doubt that’s gonna do him any favors. I feel like I’m just watching him die slowly. If not from whatever is causing this I assume starvation. He hasn’t eaten in at least a week at this point. Probably longer.

Too bad. Likely won’t recover especially if not eating. Consider euthanasia.

Gonna have to agree with kno4te im pretty sure all ropes are wild caught (I believe correct me if I'm wrong guys) so there is no telling what it is, for all we know it could be a genetic defect that didn't make itself know til now
