Sick Boy

[sekhmut0402]

Hi

My blue VT boy isn't doing too well - he's not eating and looks thin, hasn't even been doing his "job" of controlling the guppy population. The guppy fry started to nip at him, so we've put him on his own in a 2 gallon tank to stop this. He does seem to have picked up a little, but still won't eat. Tomorrow we're planning to get him some live food to see if it can tempt him, but is there anything else we can try? He's not showing any outward signs of disease, although the tank he was in was being treated for whitespot (he didn't have it).

Suggestions apprectaied

It sounds like he has a loss for appetite...which means he could have a disease that you cant see. Maybe try to buy some medication for the fish and treat him in his separate tank

Thanx He's in a tank on his own, and there's a treatment in his water - will see how he gets on, he's a lovely boy so hopefully we can make him feel better.

Yes i agree, he needs an antibiotic, not good if he's not eating, fish carry desease they can get ilt eatihg other fish, good luck.
