I would not take any drastic action yet.
The only thing that worries me is the lack of appetite. Can you post your water parameters for me? I need to know your ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, kH, salinity, and temp.
thanks lion_crazz_ well my ammonia and nitrites are both at 0. My nitrate i think was a lil high from accidently over feeding, but then i did a couple of 10-20% water changes to help lower it. Haven't checked what it is yet, but will check it later today. my pH is at 8.2 my kH i dont' know but will try to buy test kits for it. My SG is at 1.025 and temperature is from 78-82 it gradually changes, i cool the tank down daily with 2 Litre bottles of Ice. Does ich usually appear around the gills? I don't know if its moving as i can't really take a good look as the fish moves too much. So it could be moving just that i can't tell.
