What else are you trying to feed him?

[meow91]

shrimp pellets and sinking wafers.

Try some frozen bloodworms or brine or whatever other small frozen crustacean or worm your LFS has available. I've had success with freeze-dried tubifex cubes. You can press it against the glass until the bubbles come out and it will stick.

I give them frozen blood worms from time to time. He is over skinny though and I think he needs treatment.

So explain a little bit more man.

So.. you bought him, put him in your real tank, and he didn't eat for two weeks so your quarantined him and have been medicating and he still won't eat?

Is this right or what

If so... what else was in the original tank? and how big was this tank?

I bought him and 5 others 3 months ago. They have been in a 120 gal. for 2 months with a common pleco ,5 dwarf gourami , an angelfish, a blue ram, 5 danios, 3 mystery snails, 6 clams. The other 5 are fine and 2 weeks ago he started getting thinner. 1 week ago he got real skinny, so I QT him in a 10 gal. and started with the anti parasite food and Erthromycin. He is 2-3 inches long.:help:
