I moved an 8" Kissing Gourami from my 90g to a 55g across the house a few weeks ago, and now that I have, he has lost his appetite, and has become very lethargic, what I'd think is a direct result of which. 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, ~50 Nitrates, and about 7.7 Ph. I've tried flakes, pellets, feeder guppies (which have now multiplied from two to twelve :blink: ) Bloodworms, Beefheart and Algae tablets (Strange, I know, but everything else seems to love them, and I was desperate.) I'm going to buy some live nightcrawlers and try those tonight. What I want to know is there anything else I can do? Something I can add to the food, or a new type of food altogether? Ironicaly, the reason I moved him was because he was in a tank with silver dollars, and wasn't getting enough food because he eats much slower then they do. The only other reason can think of for loss in appetite and lethargy is Columnaris, and that surely would've killed the gourami sooner than this. Thanks in advance.
 
People that like to make their own fish foods usually add a bit of garlic just for that reason, I can't remember how exactly they utilize it but you could search for homemade fish foods which recommend garlic.
 
Yeah, I forgot to mention I had read that and put garlic powder on the beefheart (I also read it somewhere, but couldn't remember where) and he ignored it like everything else.
