I have a 5" aust. tuskfish that has been eating a little less then half of what he usually eat for the last 2 weeks. I have had him for 5 months and he was QT for 8 weeks before going into DT and all been well. Since the last 2 weeks he cut back on eating and being finicky. He will only eat PE Energetics Mysis Shrimp and eat very little raw table shrimp and squid, where before he would eat anything. He is in a 75 with a 5" mag foxface and a 3" swallowtail angel and that it. He look very healthy and shows no sign of illness on the outside and has a very good body weight and his color look good other then the blue/black area on the top back, it fade then come back ( could be due to new lighting on the tank 2 days ago). I feel he is a little timid from the foxface being there by the interaction that goes on although the foxface does nothing to him. There is no agression at all although when the foxface get close to him the tusk will leave the area. I am wondering if the tusk could have internal parasites or worms although I see no swelling in the abdomen and nothing around the anus. Any ideas would help me figure this out. Thanks
