Hey guys, moving this post from reef tanks
my false perc clown has not seemed well for the past couple of days. He has not eaten in 3 or 4 days. He just hangs out in his corner of the tank barely swimming. As of now I can detect no real problems (other than afore mentioned). He isn't breathing abnormally, and no spots or any indications of disease, but I am sure something is wrong. Nothing new added to stress him and water levels are steady trates 0 trites 0 amonia 0. I can't figure out what is wrong I have an empty 10 gal that I could transfer him to if I needed to, but I am not sure what good that would do. All other fish are looking well and no problems. I have had him in the tank for about a month and I've got powerheads up top and a return line from a mag 1200, I think the top is circulating enough. The temp is around 78 degrees. I feed a mix, I put some seaweed on a clip and then I mix some brine shrimp w/a formula one frozen food mix, which he was eating at first. the other fish devour all of the food, before it hits the water. The clown is flying solo. I was thinking about adding a buddy, but my lfs is out of percs for the time being, so I am stuck until they get a new shipment, just don't want that to be too little too late. Should I move him to the 10 gal. and if so how should I set up any suggestions, what I could do to help him through?
thanks sean
