My flasher wrasse who I’ve had for almost 2 years has not eaten more than 3-4 flakes of food in over a week. (Not per day). he is normally a pig and eats house made fish food. I don’t normally feed flakes but trying to get him to eat anything.
The first three days he hid and didn’t come out. When he came out from hiding I noticed white stringy poop but havent seen it since. His coloration has changed to a darker color and it appears his belly looks pinched or just getting skinny He always used to occasionally scratch on the rocks. It looks like he is gasping for air occasionally and his mouth stays open.
I feel awful because I think he is starving to death and don’t know what to do.
he still swims around but will hide if you walk up to the tank.
