Prophylactic treatment causing color loss

[Deinonych]

I wasn't really worried about the CP anymore - just wondering what I should do about the loss of appetite. Would you go to the DT or wait until he starts eating again?

I would get the fish eating before going into the DT. Are you running carbon to remove all traces of the medication? Water changes would be good as well.

He has been in a new qt tank for 4 days without meds. And not eating

Tonight I either move to another qt (easier than water change) or DT...

Bummer. On the plus side, fish can go a couple weeks without eating. Still, not good that he's in a clean tank and still not eating. That's a head-scratcher.

That's the kind of feedback I was looking for - a couple of weeks, eh? Amazing compared to humans. And he doesn't look thin. maybe a few more days in a fresh tank with Garlic Extreme and mysis shrimp...
