I bought a nice chubby true Percula last friday nite and it hasn't eaten yet. It was still very active and I thought it would come around. Today it hangs out in the same area and swims up and down. Hes also a little thinner.I also noticed a greyish bump near his gill. I acclimated him correctly. I think my LFS has medication in their holding tanks because the water was yellowish. I havent been on this board in a while and need a refresher course in treating this fish. I have some meds(melafix, Meth.blue,quick cure,formalin)......Thanks in advance for the help. I really want to save this guy.

Do not medicate your tank, for one thing. You can not sacrifice your tank for one fish. Not eating really is no big deal for a new fish.
Can you post a picture of the bump?
