I lost 3 of 4 reds by medicating them thinking I was curing something that was no there. I am pissed. I will be getting my 75g up and running soon tank stand underconstruction as I type this. I would say offer him food and just make sure the water is low ammonia. he should come around.
:I have a 180 gal tank (wet/dry, 2 fluval 404, UV sterilizer)...I currently have 3 red snakeheads, red devil, wolf fish, redtail cat, florida gar, snowflake eel, synodontis lace catfish, green terror, buttikoferi....my biggest snakehead (which has always been the most aggressive) is about 1ft long and has not been as aggressive during feeding time lately. My other snakeheads are vigorous eaters, but the largest snakehead seems to only eat a few rosys during feeding time and appears to be losing weight (he doesnt seem to want to eat the large goldfish lately). He still has no problem chasing around other fish to show them whos boss. (he and the red devil go at it) A few weeks ago, I noticed some of the fish scratching, so i added aquarium salt and quick cure (not realizing that melachite green is poisonous to snakeheads)...Im not sure if this could have an effect on him? Can anyone help me? thanks
