Drew Loika Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I have a Whitecloud that hasn't wanted to eat since I got him in May, he's stayed tiny and is now emaciated. One other like him (out of ten) has already passed. I also have 1 Kyathit Danio that's extremely emaciated with a second (out of ten) starting to look skinny. The rest of the tank is plump and boisterous, I've been overfeeding. I use location, different foods, and timing to make sure food is available to everyone. I've watched the emaciated fish ignore food repeatedly, often spitting out anything they do start to eat. Flake, pellet, wafer, dried, and frozen food all get ignored. All of it is from Aquarium Co-Op thus quality. I don't see any external signs of parasites, injury, or other distress. Weekly water changes, all parameters good, heavily planted high-tech tank. Any ideas on what I can do differently? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 It is very sad, but when a fish will not eat there isn't very much you can do. Sounds like you have done all the right things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Loika Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 I have not, that's a larger time/effort estimate than I'm willing to make. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
