Blue Hippo and Emperor Angel with Ich

[tassod]

Day after I updated that the fish were responding well the hippo has stopped eating completely. He has not eaten since last Sunday. He still behaves normally but just won't eat. The emperor is doing real well and eats everything I put in there. I did dose prazipro but the hippo has already stopped eating beforehand. I have been leaving the lights on this past few days to perhaps start breaking down the CP to see if the hippo will start eating. I also did a large water change prior to adding prazipro and did not re-dose CP. Should I start getting concerned about the hippo?

Might be worth soaking some food in garlic oil and seeing if that will stimulate the Hippo's appetite.

Nah, I would leave it be. It happened to me too. A few days later they ate like normal.

Well i'm sad to report that the blue hippo did not make it. He had reached a point where he would spend the entire day lying down under a rock and not moving. I setup a separate tank with new water and put him in there but nothing changed. Thought maybe he has flukes so i decided to give him a fresh water dip, well that killed him.
