Not right Cory

I ordered some freeze dried brine shrimp online last night.
I tried a pea, but no one in the tank like that.
I'll keep trying but if there's no improvement in the next 24 hrs, I may pull him, fearing some parasite, I don't want his tank mates to get sick too.

You're doing a great job taking care of your fish! As previous poster mentioned, if this one has parasites it is likely in the tank so you could treat the entire tank.

In terms of quarantining, you don't need a separate tank set up at all times. Lots of folks keep an extra nano heater, a small sponge filter and a plastic tote. Fill up when needed for a QT / hospital tank and break it down and store when not in use (disinfect in between uses).

Anyone have a recommendation for meds? I see API Parasite Powder. After some research sounds like wasting disease. Lethargy, weight loss, not eating.

Not sure DJ Spazzy will make it until I can get meds. He now is swimming in the mid/upper level of tank. Head kinda down. Thinking of euthanizing him. Then perhaps treating whole tank for parasites. Can't get meds until Monday...
