I had a Harlequin Tusk pass about an hour ago while in my hand. It quit eating with vigor about 2 to 3 weeks ago and about a week ago completely quit eating. Tried many different foods. Came home today he wasn’t acting normal. Very weak and I easily net him from where it was resting on the return pipe.
I would like to find out if there was some kind of internal issue that caused this so I can prevent any further losses. I’ve got 14 other fish still in my DT all still eating and doing well.
Also, the tank is a fish only system. If found to be internal intestinal parasites is it possible to dose the DT. It’s 120 gallon with 40 sump.
I have the fish in a ziplock bag in the fridge. Any necropsy services known that I can mail the fish in to?
I’ve had this fish since January 2019 and it’s been in The DT since beginning of March.
