Gold Stripe Panaque Still Not Eating

[Hero]

I lost my rubberlip this morning... and I think my gold stripe is next in line. Water stats are 0,0 and nitrate are non-toxic. The Gold-Stripe belly is even more sunk in now than it was before.. I'm afraid the next step is death and I'm out of options... I have a daily supply of courgette in the tank added around 2pm to make sure it's soft by 9pm. A quarter of a wafer is added every other day. I have attemped to drop shrimp pellets and add extra bloodworms, krill and beefheart hoping he will do some cleanup. What else can I do before I loose my little one? This is the only Gold Stripe Panaque I have seen around and I feel it's going to be the last in these parts...

short of adding garlic extract to the food and raising the temp, both of which are said to stimulate appetite i don't think there is much else.

I'm assuming you addded some fresh wood after my last post in the other thread?

could try de-worming him i suppose but it may be too late i think

The Gold Stripe passed away today . Everything I'm putting into this tank is dieing, except for 1 blue ram. Even any ram I add will die in there. What can I do to this tank to make it so my fish stop dieing? Should I take the rocks out and boil them? That was never done... that's how they caught the cotton fungus.. but i treated that with pimafix. Could lavarock absorb that med?
