He's never shown interest in this mushroom and now he's all around it... he seem's to be relaxing behind it in the shade.

Is it eating correctly?
Any signs of faded coloring?
Do the gills look normal?

 

[chocolateblnt]

Lost interest in eating today ... ate yesterday even though I noticed it was panting yesterday as well.

No Fading Colors.

Gills Look Perfectly Normal.

Update: I fed her ... she ate literally 1 piece of flake food. I know that's not much but for a sick fish to eat it must be a sign of progress!

Lots of medication options if you decide to try and medicate her on the hopes that she is sick.

You might want to try medicated food if you aren't sure you want to pull her. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=12788&N=2004+113021

Thanks for the links ... I'll take a look immediately! Perhaps they'll have some of this medication at the store. Do you know if any one of these work better than others from experience or knowledge?!

I think I'll try the GelTek ULTRA CURE PX ... I will pick it up tomm. since it's too late tonight.

 

[dantodd]

Sorry, I've been lucky enough not to need to so far.

 

[chocolateblnt]

OMG ... what a recovery?! I went to feed him again and he ate a few flakes ... shortly after he began swimming on his own and I watched him for about another half hour and then fed him some more. Hooray he looks sooooo much better and his breathing is slowing down!

Thank You all for your concerns; Perhaps the Reef Gods heard them as well!

Yeah....alls well that ends well......I couldnt sleep and had to check the thread to see how things were......I am so glad that he has perked up.......I am not sure but you might want to medicate him since he is eating and feeling a second wind just to make sure that all is well.......I will check back tomorrow and see how things are .........goodnight

 

[chocolateblnt]

Yes shadow ... I will go and buy some GelTek anti parasitical medication Thanks for your concern buddy!

 

[Ocnreef]

Great news, I'm sure you'll keep your eye on him for any signs of further decline.

 

[dantodd]

BTW: Tank is beautiful.

 

[shadowman70]

LOL....yah....that was kind of skipped over last night in the heat of things.......it is a very nice tank......glad things are going welll.......

 

[chocolateblnt]

Thank You Soooo Much Dudes! I bought some of that GelTek business and hopefully will keep my fish healthy inside as well.

I'll post a FTS just for kicks
