Sick filefish?

[Baby Ray]

Sorry I can only get my light to stay fully white for a couple seconds. I have him in this holding container

Double post. And it seems like the video won’t work

Here is an imagine I got with fully white lights.

I put him in this container to protect him from the flow.

He seems to be trying to bite onto the container to stabilize himself which is normal behavior

He will occasionally go sideways in the container like this and then eventually muster the will power to right himself

Yep - weird how these little filefish use their mouths to hold themselves steady.

All I could see was that it is really thin. I suspect there is some chronic issue that caused this, slow enough progression that you didn’t notice it at first.

Quite literally last week I noticed how plump he was.

Before I put him in the tank I had a flat form issues but he was always snacking on them.

Still some in the tank and I’ve seen him take frozen food as well so it was a lack of food or pickiness

I guess that all I can do is keep monitoring.

I hate not being able to take action to fix an issue. These little guys have so much personality.

Makes me sad watching him suffer.

Sorry, I just don’t see any treatable/actionable items here…..
