I got a filefish in the mail a few days ago. Ever since it’s just been... odd. He kinda just swims against the glass for a while and then floats around to somewhere else and does it. He moves very slowly.
it’s a cycled tank with no ammonia. On his third day I added 2.5 mL of prazipro to the 10 gallon tank. I added 1 mL the second morning, 1 mL that night, and 0.5 mL the next morning. I have an oxygen pump adding oxygen to the tank.
I have tried adding food, Hikari carnivore mix and some frozen mysis shrimp and he didn’t care for either. I’ve tried every day since I got him.
Is he okay? / any idea what’s going on here?
My QT tank is currently at 1.024, his shipping salinity, while my DT is 1.026. Should I try to acclimate him so he has aptasia to eat? My DT currently also has prazi.
