I fed my fish PE mysis instead of the usual San Francisco Bay Mysis
Is it possible it was a bad batch of food and the fish have "stomach problems" as a result?
I only bring this up because all the fish ate it, now they don't touch it, but they will eat pellets.
When I did feed it the clowns (middle of the road condition) ate a little, the Royal Gramma (worse condition) ate a ton, and the blenny (best condition) barely ate a morsel.
Is there such thing as a bad batch of frozen food that could cause this lethargy I'm observing in my fish?
Sorry to not clear this up. It was frozen mysis. I think it thawed and I didn't realize when I put it in the freezer.Mysis pellets will not cause this unless fish constipated in which it would have unusual swimming pattern or behavior .
Yes you can try boiling a couple of frozen peas and feeding the inner meat of the pea to see if it helps.
Im a little behind on thread
How is breathing rate?
What test kits are you using?
A 90 minute ruby rally pro bath may help clean this up a little if you have access to rally
how long ago did you feed the mysis before last night?Sorry to not clear this up. It was frozen mysis. I think it thawed and I didn't realize when I put it in the freezer.
Breathing is normal across the board.
I used a stupid API ammonia test because that's the only one that I could get access to. The results were not accurate (gave me multiple colors)
It was most definitely cause and effect. I fed it one day, next day the fish were a tiny bit out of it (also fed this day), the next day (yesterday) they were not doing too hot at all.The food could be the issue, but you need to ensure it is indeed cause and effect - if the fish began acting like this within 24 hours of being fed this food, then that is possible, after a week? Unlikely.
The problem with aquarium frozen foods is that it is sometimes handled poorly before you buy it - freezing and thawing many times. I once went to a LFS to buy some food and they had a self-service freezer. I pulled out a pack and it was all mushy!

ive heard of people that net the fish and put food on the net, heres a diagram :Pellet food that is
