He eats Mysis and Artemia shrimp and I will buy Plankton for him on Monday

Would you still recommend any treatment for him?

Brine shrimp isn’t really nutritious, but mysids are. I’m not sure what you mean by plankton, there are a few different types. Just be sure it is small enough for it to swallow.

It isn’t showing any treatable symptoms that I can see. If you post a clear video I might be able to see more…..

Tony told him to feed it plankton.

@HolyGrailTorch Lover are you referring to Phyto? For fish, Zooplankton would likely be better.

I'm just not familiar with foods from the EU. I'm not sure what species the "red plankton" is - probably a Calanus copepod. Mysis may need to be cut up with a razor blade to make it smaller. The fish roe is often not accepted by some fish in my experience. Cyclops might be too small?
