Second Death

[Rocklin Mike]

A few weeks ago I posted about my trigger passing. Now facing the same thing with my mag foxface. Same symptoms, very thin and dying. No visible issues. What disease can present like that? Now I’m concerned with the rest of my fish.

Read back through your last post about the trigger.
Sounds like you have something in your dt.
First step would be fw dip or Ruby reef rally dip followed up with a sterile qt and metroplex in food and water. You probably have 24 hours or so at this point so the quicker the better.
If you can get it eating, you might be able to nurse it back and come up with a plan for the rest of your livestock.

I dropped him in qt and dosed some kordon rid-ich. Don’t have ruby reef unfortunately. Did fw with the trigger and he was dead the next day.

My question is what disease doesn’t display and slowly degrades a fish. He was eating last week and has always been the most ferocious of eaters.

I've heard velvet can not show itself until the day or so before the fish dies. Can you see anything around the fishes gills?
If it won't survive a fw dip, it probably won't last much longer unfortunately.
If this one also passes you may want to consider a long term qt (like the ich treatment plan) for your remaining livestock.

Internal parasites will cause a fish to no longer receive nutrients from the food they eat, and eventually stop eating altogether. Have you ever seen white stringy poop?

Never have seen white poop. He usually ate great, ran the tank with two other rabbits.
