About 3 weeks ago, my cichlid was thrashing around the tank, scraping himself up and basically freaking out. I did some reading and determined he had an internal parasite. After treatment, he is no longer freaking out and seems calm and even is engaging in what I'm interpreting as mating rituals with my other albino tiger cichlid (locking lips, tail shimmy's, etc). Problem is now he is spending most of his time near the top of the tank and won't eat anything. (He may eat a flake or two once I walk away but I haven't observed it - a far cry from when he used to jump half out of the water to eat pellets out of my hand!) After some more reading, I have learned he may have sustained internal damage from the parasites that is irreversable, and sadly he may slowly starve to death. Can anyone advise me if this might be the case??? Is there anything I can do??? (Note: I observed some yellowish/green waste hanging from him today)
