What Do I Do With A Starved Fish?

[somesittingducks]

I Have a fish that has become really skinny and now cant swim straight. I have put her seperate to the other fish with food. Is there anything else I can do?


Thanks

Need alot more info.
Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
What does it look like when the fish goes to the toilet.

A fish being skinny can be old age, fish tb, to internal parasites.
Check the anus of the fish to see if its enlarged, or red and inflamed.
Any worms prutruding from the anus.

As Wilder suggested, need more info, particularly the type of fish and how old it is, what it is doing behaviour wise, etc.
But it is probably internal parasitic worms.
If the fish is having trouble swimming then it is probably too late to do anything that will make a difference.

you could put it in a fry tank, this would allow the fish to stay in the tank, but be protected.
