We've had Flame a few months now and she's never been very well in all that time. She's just had her second treatment of Anti internal bac and just won't eat anything apart from the occasional bloodworm. We have tried absolutely every kind of food imaginable.

This is a pic of her after her first anti bac treatment over a month ago.........she picked up for about a week or two and then went downhill again.



This is her now sad.gif her poo is very stringy and she's just finished another course of anti internal bac meds but hasn't picked up this time. She's completely lost her colour poor thing and just mooches around.

If anyone has any ideas they will be very much appreciated.

LOL Doresy, bit over zealous with the add reply button eh! laugh.gif

The Temp of the tank she was in to start with was around 77, and then when we treated with anti bac the second time the temp was 79/80.
Water in both those tanks are good and no other fish has been affected. She's basically been like it since we got her 2 months ago.
One thought we had had was internal parasite??

Hi--

What are your Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate stats?-- the loss of appetite could be environmental...
