Has anything changed such as salt, water flow, salinity and Ph?Also it is from liveaquaria and well, they've really been going downhill these last few years
None of that has changed..... No scrapes or redness anywhere. I wonder if a freshwater dip would stress it out even more?Has anything changed such as salt, water flow, salinity and Ph?
Any physical scrapes r dame you can see?
The erratic behavior, loss of appetite points to flukes. If so, other signs you would see are increased breathing rate, swollen or red gills, hiding and herking motion
Unfortunately, it seems this is how 3 of the 4 CBB I had died. The first one just died completely randomly. That's why I'm so stressed out about this one now. I knew it was a gamble but it did so well the first few daysFWD only treat superficial parasitic infections or fill infection with parasites. You fish seem to suffer from neurological or central nervous system injury/stoke. FWD will not help in this case.
Likely will and offers temporary relief of flukes and other worms and highly Not recommended if breathing rate is elevatedNone of that has changed..... No scrapes or redness anywhere. I wonder if a freshwater dip would stress it out even more?
Sorry, doesn't sound good.. 4 dead would be a good time to consider something different...Unfortunately, it seems this is how 3 of the 4 CBB I had died. The first one just died completely randomly.

Yeah I gave up on CBB. Thought a marginalis would be easier. At least our yellow long nose is a perfect little champSorry, doesn't sound good.. 4 dead would be a good time to consider something different...
I’ve never heard of Australian fish being collected with any drugs - there are two main suppliers and they are both really good at handling fish.Ugh I hoped not. I thought Australians weren't caught that way, but who knows

I can’t recall - are marginals found anywhere but Australia? There have been issues with fish like harlequin tuskfish being sold as Australian, but which were actually caught with cyanide in Indonesia.
The issue sure does sound neurological though. How is it this morning?
Yeah once a fish starts acting like this, I always consider them a goner already. Frustrating.Hate to say it but I had a Marginalis that showed the exact same behavior, swimming in place. After five days, it passed.
It seems that the wives have a similar thought, haha. Either way I hope your marginalis returns to normal soon, its cost is prohibitive for many aquarists, so enjoy it as much as you can.Yeah once a fish starts acting like this, I always consider them a goner already. Frustrating.
My wife was excited, but she's back to thinking this hobby is just a money pit that has not much gain anymore. I get to thinking that same way sometimes with how expensive this hobby is, but I can't stop it lol
totally agree. For sensitive fish like CBB, Regal angel, and some of the wrasses, this is the best way to acclimated them.Sorry this one isn't doing well. I'm no help but I wonder if a fish like this would be better isolated alone for a while for observation. I'm talking about something like the stock tank below with old live rock not a sterile PVC decorated tank. I suppose if it's neurological issue it wouldn't matter. I kept my CBB in a similar setup when I got it 2 years ago. I have a powder brown in now that is eating out of my hand after only two weeks. I think it makes a good place for a fish to adjust and fatten up before moving to the DT.
