Thank you. As soon as i released him he did some twirling and wedged himself between the back glass and pvc. He was breathing a little hard though which I would assume is normal. I just went to check up on him and his breathing is back to normal. ::keeping fingers crossed::

Best of luck, us and our Crosshatch Pair will keep him in our minds :)
 
Tried force feeding with syringe today and failed miserably. Once he went in the water he spit everything out. I'm just going to let him be now. Really don't know what else to do.

Thanks.. i looked back on some text history where I talked to my friend about this. My trigger had stopped eating for about two weeks, the message where I told my friend about that was dated March 22nd. This guy went roughly 10 weeks no food. Maybe on the next tank I'll try again but that won't be for a long time.

Very strange behavior.

Our two Crosshatches are just pigs. They're weird fish, but never skip a meal... actually I'm stunned by how fast they can cover a 10 foot tank when I walk up to it... they think they're being fed and dart across the tank. Seriously if you blink you'd miss them.

They're also first to the nori clip...
 
Mine never touched nori nor pellets. Only my special blend of food I'd prepare and on occasion ghost shrimp. Once I sneaked nori in his food, he spit it out and quit eating for 3 weeks
 
Sorry for your loss. I know when I've lost fish in the past you rack your brain for what you did wrong. I think reading this post you did more than others for your guy.

Nature unfortunately is nature.

Thank you. .. I'm still trying to accept it though. .. Maybe if I'd caught on about flukes sooner and treated sooner, maybe if I would have learned about swim bladder sooner and did something sooner about it he might have made it.
 
Sorry Manny...

Next time, try and get a smaller one from Rufus.
Large males typically don't ship well and it can be tough getting them to eat.

It never feels good but we have all been there.

Don't give up!
