This is an update to a thread that I made earlier this week about my orchid dottie and firefish. the Dottie is showing signs of what I think to be improvement. He’s not stuck to the top or the bottom of the tank, but tends to cling into one of the corners and go up and down the wall. he doesn’t seem excited about food and is still real skinny so I’ve been keeping a very close eye on him. I haven’t seen any signs of aggression from anyone else, I’ve definitely been watching very closely. in my thread about my firefish, I posted that his eye looked banged up. I haven’t seen him in a while, so I’m keeping a close eye out for him too.
Ive treated for flukes, then some melafix after the treatment window. Any advice on why he may be swimming funny or how to get him to eat?
Thanks, any help is appreciated.
