Hi Tweety, He hasn't eaten or pooped in 6 weeks... He doesn't seem to have lost weight. He is losing color though. His anus 'Donut' has deflated, but he's still not eating. Although I've never fed him 'Feeder Fish'....I put some in his tank to see if his instincts would kick in, but de doesn't...
Thanks Tweety, he doesn't have any of the symptoms you mentioned. here's another picture of his anus. It looks like a jellyfish donut. Would constipation cause this?
Sorry, I didn't get the numbers...I took a water sample to my local fish store and they did the testing. They said everything was good. As I stated, I do a 1/3 water change every week and change filters once a month. I was feeding him frozen brine shrimp and frozen blood worms.
Tank tested, everything within limits. Not acting odd...just hanhing on the bottom, or perched on a rock. Sorry for the late request...but i've been working with him all that time. Why peas? This fish is approx: 18" long and about 5 lbs. Even sich he ain't gonna let me put peas bown his throat...
