• Acanthurus Pyroferus does not eat!

  • Nicole7122

Three days ago, I got myself such a fish. Thin, with a sunken belly. I can't say it's not active. The chrysurus is putting up a fight. Size is 5 cm. I have given it artemia, shrimp, squid, Omega dry food, tubifex, and bloodworms. I don't have nori on hand, and I won't be able to buy it for at least four days. For now, it's staying at home without going out. I wonder if I should try nauplii of artemia? P.S. I don't know what it was fed before me. I think nothing, or rather, it just didn't eat. I rushed things. Help me save the fish!

I'll drop by tomorrow and bring the spirulina.

The parameters are all okay. The entire aquarium is in racemosa. Either adaptation or treated. I might take it if I can, but I won't be able to leave the house for 4 days. I'm giving my dog IV drips. I can't step away for even an hour. Yarik, I would appreciate it!

Danny

Max... I can drop Entis somewhere or pass it to Yarik...

Danielle8118

Thank you very much! If I don't come up with anything, I'll call you today.

Darrell5975

There's nothing to come up with here... with the help of Entis, Artemia started to bite on the very first day... the other question is, if the fish is sick, then any bait is useless (((

Patricia

I wish your dog a speedy recovery.

Guys, thank you all for the quick help! Just 20 minutes ago I threw in some maggots with artemia - they're hitting so hard my cheeks are cracking! As they say, it's better to be safe than sorry. By the way, did you give Vadim the flavor enhancer? I'll take a little from him to try anyway. Better to have it just in case... Thanks again for the help!

Off-topic. Most likely, someone threw poison over the fence! Fortunately (of course, it's hard to say that), the big dog is always ahead of the train - the little ones would have collapsed immediately.

Danielle

That's what I'm talking about - Seachem Entice.

Max, how is your Pyrophorus? Is it eating?

Alexandra

Yes. Eating like a champ! Thank you for the advice!

Today I stopped eating. Two hours ago, he was drawn to the pump. He spent his last strength fighting it. They say that when a fish gets stuck to the pump, it's doomed. Because it's already out of power. Right now, he's lying on the bottom of the tank and breathing irregularly. I will definitely take some photos. You'll see what condition this fish was in... How did I manage to buy it?

Natalie

Max, it's a pity about the fish... What condition was it in when you bought it?

Joseph8592

a skeleton with ragged fins. I am a loser.

Ricky9405

Off-topic This is exactly what always drives us crazy - the majesty of gambling...

Nicole

Max, it's not necessarily your fault. If the fish wasn't "dulled" but was POISONED - the liver is in trouble. And it started eating, but the damage might have been too severe.

Julie3950

where did you get it?

Joshua9847

Yarik, what could my mistake be if the fish is scraped and not eating? There's no mistake on my part, except for buying a lousy fish.

Jasmine

I won't say. It's a unique case, and on the forum, just give a little spark.

Alan273

if the fish is poisoned, there's nothing you can do; the only treatment is to deposit money with the dealer and collect it after a 10-14 day hold (it's also a good idea to check and make sure the fish is okay and feeding).

Jesse3979

Agreed. Only your words have reached their ears...

Katie3017

The fish was taken after a 1.5-week hold and, according to the seller, was eating dry food. Additionally, it was supposedly in good condition. I say that the fish was in poor condition. This is clearly visible in the photo. The fish is terrifyingly thin. I couldn't have starved it in just a week.

Robert1845

If the fish is thin with a sunken back, then "according to the seller, it ate dry food" is a lie, because if the back is "sunken," then in 95-99% of cases, that fish is headed for the grave, as this is one of the signs of severe malnutrition; of course, miracles do happen...

Thank you for the valuable information. Indeed, adapting and getting A. Leikosternon to eat what we can offer is not so easy, especially considering his predisposition to cryptosporidiosis.

Emma

How is your fish?

Lee

The fish died six months ago...

Catherine6534

It's a pity, my Nigrikans died a year ago, and it's all a shame.
