Ok I’ll try just observing him to start, and try to get him eating a mollie or so every other day to third day. The fact he ate already is a very good sign I think. I’m gonna get general cure just in case. I do also have a ghost ribbon eel and another 2 normal ribbons coming soon, so one of them is guaranteed to have parasites. Should I treat the wartskin angler for internal parasites too? Or only if he isn’t eating well or seems like he is struggling?
If my fish eat right away I go into observation mode. I feed them well to strengthen them up just in case an issue arises and I have to treat.
As far as the angler goes, I'll just share my experience. I have never seen an angler survive treatment of any kind, that includes gc and pp. I have seen them survive treatment but perish soon afterwards. That doesn't necessarily mean that the meds caused it, because they do have a high mortality rate otherwise. Personally I would never treat an angler and everyone I know that has, they either died during treatment or shortly afterwards, a few months at best.
