Red tail trigger

[Jrhunter0000]

I purchased a red tail trigger from a local distributor! When he arrived it looked like he had swim bladder. He was on his side, swam funny. Now he’s doing way better! However he’s been locked under a rock for 3 days. He won’t come out, won’t eat, nothing! I’m worried he’s gonna die from not eating. Any advice? I have tried frozen Larry’s, seaweed, flakes...

3 days? May be time to intervene. Do you have a separate QT you can place it in to monitor? Ensure its eating and mediate if need be?

They almost always come out for food. That should trigger its movement. Do check:
Water temp
Salinity (range would be 1.024-1.026)
Ph
Ammonia level
