:iagree:. If then any antibiotics are needed, the treatment will be easier having the fish alone in a smaller tank.Either you have a cloud eye issue or an injury and the lack of appetite could be stress from aggression or the injury, at any rate i would remove him to see if he starts acting normally and to heal..
Totally going that direction... will get 10 gallon tomorrow! Have one to pick up off craigslist... just need to know how to get it suitable for sick fishy... no time to establish the tank... :uhoh:will be easier having the fish alone in a smaller tank.
Thank you for the advice! I've introduced new fish before with those practices and have been successful.... ... ... .. start your daily water changes that night or the next day.. be very observant and pay attention to breathing, do small feedings..
.. .. .. ... ... community with lights out and reconfigure rock or decor to disturb territory issues if not he will be killed or totally beat up as a new comer and you will be back to square one.. i say a good month in the quarantine setup should suffice..
