Court Jester Goby I added to the tank about a little over a month ago has a sunken belly. He has been very active even with the sunken belly and is constantly picking on the rocks and sand.. Even though he is captive bred he doesn't seem to love frozen food so I think my metro + focus regiment might not work in this case. He has eaten some of the defrosted Cyclops I put in the tank but given the size of the food idk if the medication is soaking in. Plan is for tomorrow to put him in QT with a round of General Cure. Thoughts?
