Hi,
I have a sick fox face rabbitfish who I'm pretty sure hasn't eaten anthything in over a month. I've had him and all other fish for about 3 years without any problems. He used to be the biggest eater in my tank and would go crazy when I put food in, now I can't get him to eat anything. He just sits under a rock all day. He also does a small body twitch sometimes which is weird. I don't see any current spots or anything on him, although a week or 2 ago under the blue lights he had some weird spots or scratches, but never visible in light. Salinity is 1.026, 78-80 degrees, nitrates always been high around 40. I've tried feeding him every mysis, nori, algae, but nothing is working. Other fish in the tank include 2 angels, 2 clowns, 1 damsel, 1 filefish, and 1 yellow tank - 90 gallon. Sometimes the other fish seem to be pushing him lately because I think they know he is sick. I do not have a quarantine tank, and it would be pretty impossible for me to catch him with where he hides in the rocks, I think I would end up causing more stress.
Any help is appreciated.
