Yes I changed their diet after QT (ich). They used to get more variety (mini pellet, flake, frozen on rotation), now I have them strictly on New Life Spectrum Thera A+.

Thanks for your help
So this may be a parasite but could just be a one-off dietary issue? He went back to being normal after passing it
Right?!!! Same with me. I mean who in the supply chain would care about spoiled fish food? As long as it makes it back into the display freezer for sale.I think it was a one off, but keep watching of course.

I worked in the pet industry for 10+ years I KNOW the food can get spoiled - we’d just refreeze it....Right?!!! Same with me. I mean who in the supply chain would care about spoiled fish food? As long as it makes it back into the display freezer for sale.
