Hello everyone!
I have a potters angelfish in the final day of qt, he is due to go in to my DT tomorrow but he stopped eating. He is not showing any signs off illness. Last time he ate was friday and refuses food now. Should i add him in anyways and hope for the best?

Ugh. I'm 50/50 on this.

What all did you do as far as QT? If you treated for everything prophylactically and the fish has been med free for a couple weeks I'd go ahead and move it.

He was in copper for almost 3 weeks and then transferred to a sterile tank for 2 weeks. The 2 week point will be tomorrow

Did you treat for flukes or anything else? If not I'd do a FW dip.

So its been in the tank for a couple of days now the fish is very active but barely eating. Everytime i feed the tank he runs over to the food as if he is about to eat it but then stops short of taking it. He does graze on algea on the glass and rocks.
Whats your guys opinion?

Is the same food he once ate with vigor? Any chance he's just picky? I have one fish that's hit and miss on anything but frozen. He'll eat sometimes but I guess it's only once he's good and hungry.
