Internal Parasite?

If you ever feed your fish frozen food, like frozen blood worms, you can soak the pellets in the "worm juice"--that trick usually works. Have you tried feeding him normal food? If he won't take normal food anymore, I'd say the window has closed and you might have to treat the water.

But he might not like garlic either. Haha! It's supposedly a good immune booster and a lot of people do it every time they feed to weekly. You could give it a go. :)

I'll try that, thanks. And hopefully the little brat likes garlic!

I gave him one pellet last night to test (after posting on here..), he gobbled it up, so he is hungry. just doesn't want the medicated food. Sadly, no frozen foods, just freeze-dried bloodworms...


I'm gonna fast for this weekend, and hopefully he'll be hungry enough to eat anything I put in his tank.
