Monkeypoint Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I added 4 BRC to my 68 gallon tank about 3 1/2 weeks ago. This one is not doing well. Could it be parasites? I'm about to put it in a hospital tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you noticed any aggression maybe the other two are bullying it stopping it eating if there's no aggression what I would do is @Odd Duck treatment protocol for parasitic infections you can use paracleanse instead of prazipro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
