Need feeding advice for Bangaii Cardinalfish

[Roy 9121]

What kind? I'm desperate.

I haven't lost a fish since I was new and added a Flame angel to a tank before QT it first. Lost a Powder Blue Tang to Ich along with the Flame Angel.

New Life Spectrum small fish formula. They also like Sera Spirulina tabs
Mine won't eat mysids at all.

You can also try putting in a little liquid garlic.

Yeah, I've tries using garlic soaking the food and all been doing that for years but these ones just have no desire to eat anything I put in most I've got is a bite then followed by a spiting out.
They did manage to eat a few I'm try that and some eggs tomorrow when the LFS open hopefully I can save the last two.
Other one beyond saving laying on it side gasping for air.

Do they have white poop? They could have some kind of intestinal parasite, or worms

No feces at all that I've noticed can't really watch them 24/7
Rest of my fish are fine though.
I may treat just to be sure if I lose all three or they don't start eating tomorrow.
What the preferred product for that?
I've read in the past that people will do three different meds if they can't determine the parasite just to be safe and rid it for good.
What the fallow period for my DT tank if it does have them?

I know the fallow period for ich is 76 days. I'm no expert though. Praxipro is one med for parasites, there are others.

Oh, no there's no ich and there have been studies in rare cases with low temps of incubation of eggs releasing at max 90 days.

I haven't done much research on intestinal parasites so I was wondering on those.
Ich reference was from my early days in the hobby when I made a mistake in tossing new fish in with old fish without Quarantining first.
It ended in disaster.

Lost one so far. I had it netted waiting for the end....
I think I'm done with fish for now this bums me out for awhile on fish.
