Hi all,
Just joined today. I have a 20 gallon setup that finished cycling about 2 months ago (over 3 months since set up). Over the last 2 months, i have only added a yellow tail damsel, scooter blenny, 2 tiny green star polyp frags, a cleanup crew of snails and blue leg hermits and a pair of ocellaris clowns. Everything is going great except for my larger cloen. She (?) Was eating fine for 2 weeks then suddenly stopped eating altogether. Was lazy and breathing heavily. Talked to the owner of local LFS and was told to start a QT with furan 2 treatment. She had a short white string coming from her anal vent when I moved her to the medicated tank, but has grown to about 2.5 inches. Still breathing heavily after 3 days in QT. Water parameters in DT were religiously kept ideal by OCD me after the cycle. Water changes of 20% weekly with RO and Red sea reef salt. 15lbs. Live rock, uv sterilizer and protein skimmer. 20 lbs. Live sand. Filtration is AQ110 set to low flow. I am worried that this may be internal parasites and furan is not working. It has been 7 days since she's eaten and I am concerned. I have brine shrimp in the QT but she is getting very thin in the belly. Any thoughts on a plan of action? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks so much guys!
