not eating

I have had my golden arothron puffer for around 5 years. In this time he has always eaten very well. I liken him to a Labrador Retriever in personality and hunger. By far my favorite fish. He is in a ~220 gallon tank at my office. He usually eats head on whole shrimps and mussels. On...

Hi! I recently had my male clownfish murdered by an angelfish and got another clown the next day. I got a small orange storm clownfish from my lfs which was still in the bag of ORA. So technically he is from ora as he never touched the stores water. Anyway today is day 8 of not eating and really...

Afternoon This is my first time posting so any help would be appreciated. I recently received a seahorse from a family friend that passed away and needed a new home. I have been taking care of saltwater aquariums for over three years now with great success, however the seahorse is the first...

Hi !

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...

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...
