Won't eat, stays by self?

[poconoboss]

I have an Albino turk who for the last week or so lost interest in eating and stays at the end of the tank by herself.

Nothing has changed in the tank aside from this, she is not getting picked on.

Water chemistry, feeding, foods etc. has not changed, this is completely out of the blue.

Any suggestions?

TIA

is her poop normal colour or whit gel looking?

Tried salt and high temp ( 1 teaspoon/2gal and 88 - 90 F)? Works wonders for my discus - esp. when they get sick.

Don't know what color the poop is because, she's not pooping.

I guess I will try salt/temp.

I'm getting nervous now because she is getting really thin. :(

A healthy fish won't begin to thin out for quite some time. A few weeks to month shouldn't cause the fish to thin out unless something internally is robbing nutrients. Could be worms or flagellates.

i would use epsom salts if she is not pooping. she may be constipated
