I introduced a Eibli on 7/12 to my 55 gal.We was very healthy and well fed. He is not eating and is laying on his side under live rock. Is this common? I have tried for 3 days to get him out without tearing down my tank...I would like to put him in a smaller tank by himself. I am offering kelp flakes,cyclopeez, algae sheets,frozen mysis&brine and other flakes! he is not interested in eating. Any suggestions?

That is not normal behavior.If you can drain the tank to about 3 or 4" you should be able to remove him easily.If you can get a pic and post in the fish health forum,someone may be able to help with treatment.

sounds like "pre-death" behavior.... sorry to hear about that

I got him out today and put him in a 20L tank that I was growing calupera and peppermint shimp. Hopefully he will eat more often. He is on his side still but stangely enough he is not skinny so he must have been eating when the lights were out which I didn't think they did. He looks healthy and every now and then he takes off and swims to the other side of tank and lays down again. I think he has ick....I treated him w/ kick-ick and have been running a diatom. I have never had a fish lay down soooo long and not die! He swims funny like he is full of air or a bird ....it's a flapping motion not graceful at all. I guess all I can do now is keep the light off and wait till he swims or rolls over.
