Also I'm really sorry I get a bit paranoid sometimes, I suffer from paranoid schizophrenia and even though I'm on my meds, I tend to get a bit overly scared at times, I'm really sorry if it's annoying any of you. ♥ I very much appreciate all the help I received here.
So after I did 10 days of metro treatment, one of my fish has started eating again and the second one nibbled a little bit of food, then stopped eating altogether again. The non eating fish is also suffering from fin rot. Is it possible that parasite infection is cured and the fish refuses to eat solely because of the fin rot? There are no white / gooey feces.
I did a short term bath (5 hours) in acriflavine (a medication recommended by a pet store vendor), 2 days later fish is still not eating. I just did the bath again and will see if the fish starts to eat tomorrow.
Both fish also started having mild hole in the head while being treated with metro. The eating fish still has small holes but they seem to be getting better, while the non eating fish seems to be getting worse. I suppose it might be from malnutrition at this point...? I have no real clue to be honest.
Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
