not eating

My DT is 2 years old, My fishes were quarantined 14 days in copper power and apI general cure. Everything was fine until my most recent water change. My smaller clown fish showed signs of rapid breathing, inflamed gills and stopped eating a day after. There was also a small white bump near...

We are on about 3 weeks now. He won’t eat we treated him with melafix and did a water change. He seems a little spunkier and not laying in the corner. None of the other fish are affected. But idk what’s going on please help

Hello, any ideas why this angelfish is not eating? I’ve had him for a few weeks, he ate at first, very slow eater but ate little bits of the floor. Now he hasn’t eaten for a several days, maybe a week. Any ideas, I’ve tried frozen mysis, plankton, angel marine mix, angel frozen mix, new life...

Hi so I bought a male mccosker's flasher on Sunday 3rd from my lfs. Looked great in the shop. Did my normal acclimatisation and added it to the tank. It right away went down and hid under a rock and stayed there until the next morning. In the afternoon it was gone and I couldn’t see it anywhere...

My porcupine puffer, that I've had for over 3 years, has gone on the occasional hunger strike but never for this long. There were a couple of days where he ate, but then went back into hiding in his cave and hasn't eaten anything in over 10 days when he used to come up and beg for food at dinner...

Hello I recently got a dwarf lionfish it’s about 3 or 4 inches big. He’s out of quarantine but I’m having a hard time getting him to eat, I’ve tried everything ghost shrimp, guppies and mysis shrimp. He ate 2 ghost shrimps last week when I had him in a 12x6 inch acclamation box. Now he’s in a 10...

Hey everyone, My porcupine puffer started getting fussy about eating two weeks ago. It escalated to where they are chewing and then spitting out almost all the food they get. They are now getting too skinny and I don't know what to do. Tank parameters: 125 gallon long 1.0225 salinity 0...

Hey guys, New reefer here and I just bought a clownfish about two/three weeks ago. Last week he stopped eating for two days and I gave him a freshwater bath plus dosed the tank with prazi. He ate the next day but went back to not eating 24 hours later and then I saw him poop white. I gave...

To say upfront the blenny is now in water with 0ppm copper. 2 different LFS recommended copper treatment in QT due to velvet in DT and I regrettably followed their advice. Current issue - Scooter blenny is not eating and does not look well. Heavy breathing, barely moving (see picture and...

I recently got a dwarf flame from an LFS. It initially explored my 65 gallon but since then has been staying in a specific "cave". It might venture out a little bit but otherwise just kinda hangs there. It also isn't really eating. I don't see spots or anything and the lfs copper treats it's...

He’s always out and about unless I approach the tank, that’s when he hides and stays hidden until I distance myself. He’s curious and all, but he just doesn’t want to eat anything I give him (shrimps and clams). He’s 2 days old now

Just got a new snowflake eel 2 days ago and tried feeding it cut up fresh grouper fillet but it isn’t interested at all. Its a decent sized one over a foot long and thick as a thumb. I read they wont eat when new to a tank but the other 2 snowflakes i had before ate the same day i got them. Any...

I had a fish that had trouble swimming. When she passed it seem like my other fish got what she had. both of their symptoms are trouble keeping afloat and breathing fast. She is not eating much. I think it's a parasite that passed on when the other fish died. I don't know what i should do. Any...

Hello all! I currently have a citron goby (Gobiodon citrinus), two captive-bred neon gobies (Elactinus oceanops), and a molly miller blenny (Scartella cristata) in my 10-gallon quarantine system (which has not begun medication), which have been with me since 9/5/2022. I have been experiencing...

Hi! My blue hippo’s in my main tank now and hasn’t been eating a lot. He would eat 1 pellet and won’t bother eating again. He keeps swimming a lot too. Specifically swims on one side of the glass, idk if he sees his reflection and amazed by it or idk...

Hey all. Looking for some advise from some more experienced tang keepers. I recently purchased a juvenile clown tang probably 2.5”-3” long. I believe he is a wild caught specimen. He will not eat prepared foods. Frozen or pellet. He does continuously pick at the rocks for algae. He will not even...

Hi all, As a longtime lurker on this forum, this wasn't how I expected to finally make an account, but I'm hoping someone can help me. I've just about finished cycling my tank as of yesterday (0 ppm ammonia, .1 ppm Nitrite, 25 ppm Nitrate, 1.026 sg) and went to an LFS to pick up a fish to...

So the tang went through quarantine perfectly, was added to the DT about 2 weeks ago and has been doing perfectly until 2 days ago. Out of nowhere, she just stopped eating. Before, she was constantly grazing and feed normally during feeding twice a day. There's no spots, markings or any signs...

Hello, I have 2 clownfish. They have been together for about 5 months now. Over the last 4 days, both clowns haven't really eaten, which seems to stem from the female not wanting to eat and the male follows suit. Here's the back story. I have a 55 gallon mixed reef tank. It got ich, so I went...

As the tittle says, one of my clownfish won't eat after a transfered them from my 75g to my 175g. I've had both clownfish for about 2.5 years and the female clownfish is going on day two since I transfer her over to the bigger tank. The 2 clowsn are the only 2 fish I've transferred so far and...

My multi bar angel has been less active, mostly standing under rocks for about a week, stopped eating four days ago and as of today laying on its side with an arched back. It’s about 3” with noticeable male cheek spines and no residual eye spot so I believe a full adult. I’ve had it for 3 full...

Hey! I have a banded cat shark that hatched around three weeks ago. When she hatched she still had a bit of yolk so I wasn't concerned about her eating, but now her yolk has been dissolved for over two and a half weeks and she shows absolutely no interest in eating. Ive tried krill, silversides...
