I have a new QT Banggai Cardinalfish. I believe it had some sort of bacterial infection (fin rot and white patch forming on the skin). I treated it with Maracyn II for the full 5 days. The fin rot and white patch have totally cleared up however, he is not eating a lot now. I have been feeding HUFA brineshrimp and he will only eat a couple. Is this normal for this type of ailment / treatment? Should I be looking for signs of something else?
I am also a bit concerned cause he does "twitch" fairly often (once every 30 sec or so). I don't see any sort of parasite, but I've read somewhere this can be a sign of flukes. Would it pay to give him a formalin bath? I've never used a formalin bath before and I'm not looking to shock him for no reason. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
