I’m lost…

I hope the video uploads but I don’t know whats wrong with my gramma. It rarely eats and just stays in the corner of the tank sometimes vertically. When I first got it I treated it with copper and kanaplex separately. Should I also do prazipro? The store I got it from did say he was a surrender but not for any reason other than the tank being tore down. I’ve literally never seen him swim around normally.

You video plays for me, but I know sometimes R2R members have a problem viewing videos uploaded directly to R2R. If possible, could you post this over on YouTube, and then link that back here? That way all R2R members should be able to see your video, including the R2R Fish Medic team.

Good luck!

This is a fish prone to flukes but I do not see fluke symptoms here. Try lowering the brightness of lights a little and add more blue to lighting as fish may be intimidated or just settling in although they like to dwell within rocks

What type of foods have you tried on it? How rare is rarely eats?

Any other fish in the tank with it?

I have tried pellets and mysis shrimp. I’ve seen it eat the shrimp maybe twice in the past month.

Clown pair and tailspot blennie.

Could it be swim bladder? I don’t have experience with that?

 

[NeedAReef]

no experience with that either sorry. I would put it in a qt on its own though

I would consider treating for flukes with prazipro. That can be done in the tank. I would also try to build a small cave for it away from the other fish.

adding onto it, I would say it does not have to be another tank just something you can keep it in and observe it closer where it has no one picking on it. you can do it, and a water change while you are at it with water from the main tank. Just give it a pvc or something to hide in as they like to do that. but you do not need much, a small filter too. Its summer so no heater most likely.
