advice

[alan j t]

hi all
i still have a couple of juvies not in the swing of things yet
there appetite is not really there yet
i see them eat maybe one piece of frozen food when thawed out and tossed in the tank
i even put it squirted food in several parts of the tank so they can take there time to eat but they dont seem interested
everyone else are little piggies
they already recieved there first dose of prazi and popped out some clear poop

so im thinking the 2 juvies get there own bb tank
and add some live blood worms or tubivex (dont know if its the same thing)the lfs carrys them

im trying to locate some garlic guard/extact but it seems hopeless
unless i order it

so can i try live worms for now or am i asking for it
the fish are getting really skinny and not eating enough to put back the weight
any advice will be well taken

and i found some garlic extreme by kent
i added 2 tbl sp of sea salt and temp is at 88

so when do i feed and add the garlic
hope they get compfy soon so they will eat

When it comes to diseased fish I am clearly not an expert. But I would think that you need to use some metro sounds like you have some internal parasites.

metro it is

Increasing the temp to between 90F and 92F can also help improve the appitite along with helping the metro to do it's job. Don't leave any food in the tank as it only makes the water foul which adds to the problem. When it's ready to eat it will eat and that should take less time in clean water.
