I recently bought two new fish for my 46 gallon FOWLR tank.
Both of them have not been eating and observing strange behaviors. Every other fish in the tank is perfectly healthy and thriving except these two.
I tried feeding everything including live brine shrimp and neither are eating
The first is a green chromis.
It swims around the tank rapidly and appears perfectly healthy, but it acts as if it were blind or something. it has no fear of my hand or the net, and bumps into the other fish. It will pick at a few things, but otherwise eats nothing.
The 2nd fish is an Auriga butterflyfish.
It has been at the surface sucking for air, and ignoring all foods, but otherwise appears healthy.
All water parameters are fine (PH, salinity, nitrates etc) its been 3 days. I am doing a water change now. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea what could be wrong.
They come from a good LFS, other recent fish from that store are all fine.
Thanks
