Hello,
I am postingas an update because this is now an emergency as he is really starting to look in rough Shape.
Tank Details (Updated for Today):
Nitrate - 0ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
PH - 7.8 (A little low I know, just the water in this area but after having tanks for multiple years it has never been an issue)
Salinity - 1.024
Calcium - 476
Magnesium - 1362
dkh - 7.0
Aquarium Size is 75 Gallons with a canister filter (upgrading this boy to a refugium soon as well as the tank size to atleast 250g ), owned the tank and has been running for 15. - 2 years with little to no serious issues. Water change it consistently with top offs more frequently now that the weather is getting warmer here.
More pictures being added below of the update. He has not eaten in almost a week, and is really starting to get lethargic and resting more than normal. He has marks that look like erosion on both sides of him, and the front of his face looks like he is getting old and like wilting? It is hard to describe. He also has this weird yellow mark on the side as well.
Originally I thought it was a parasite, and treated for that, but it was suggested that it was Skin erosion / bacterial. So I treated twice with Kanaplex, but he is still looking really rough. Any suggestions?
Also, his Diet is mainly raw shrimp, but he also hunts down snails and tanks I update in the tank regularly as well as occasional muscles.
