I've had a YWG for almost a year now paired with a Randal pistol. All has been well until recently when I noticed he was not out at normal feeding times. He would eat if he was present, but just wasn't showing up and I was a bit woried about how much food he was getting.
Yesterday morning he left his burrow and did not return, swimming around in the top third of the water column. He rested exposed on the sandbed last night and stayed out in the water column again today. He did not eat when I fed the tank. Appearance-wise I see nothing out of the ordinary externally with the exception that he is maybe a bit darker, duller yellow than normal.
As a precaution I moved him to a hospital tank. I am planning to put him through a round of metro/kanaplex as a precaution. I am going to leave the QT barebottom with some PVC pipe in lieu of a tupperware of sand. Any thoughts or other suggestions?
