Hi guys,
Thanks a lot about the advice you gave me last time about the chloramine caused problem.
Here is something new puzzling me. I got three wild about 4 weeks ago. They are in a QT tank. Since they were not eating, I assume them carried disease, so I treat them first with Mg2SO4. One day later, I saw fluffy poos look like cotton candy on the bottom of the tank and I also see its hanging from one of the fish. So I assume its flagella/hex caused problem, treated Met 3 times, with suggested dosage. Two start eating, but one still don't. I tried all sorts of food to trigger the one who does not eat, today I even tried live blackworm. The one who does not eat finally start eating, but I noticed it spits the worm out immediately, even though it seems hungry and want to eat. All the fish looks nice, no drakness, no obvious sign of stress, except a bit skittish when I clean the tank. Daily 30% water change, water parameter is very decent, 200 TDS, ph7.1, temp 28C, nitrate undectable to 5 ppm.
What should I do next to make this one starting eating? Any thoughts?
