Any ideas? Stopped eating almost 2 weeks ago. Also stopped sleeping in the sand and now just lays on side breathing heavy. I thought maybe it was a parasite but brown poop. I did get it to eat after I dumped a bunch of pods in the tank and it perked up for a couple days but now back in its side.

When I first got it over a month ago it was eating frozen just fine. Not sure what to do at this point. I stopped metroplex because I thought maybe it was causing it to stop eating.

Any suggestions on what I should try? I have live black worms coming but I'm not sure if this is just malnutrition now...

Are the pods all gone?

Tamarin wrasses are hard to care for in captivity. Unfortunately he looks to be a goner
