What are you feeding it?How long has this been going on?Is anything else bothering it?

This really sounds like flukes to me.Do you have a hospital tank?Look really close at his gills.Very close.Flukes are very hard to see.

I had the same thing happen to my female perc....she came under attack by my hippo tang about 2 mos ago and stopped eating. I removed the hippo and she is not being harrassed anymore, but she never ."perced" up after that. At this point, I am hand-feeding her, and she will eat from my hand, but otherwise, no she won't eat.

Sounds like a pretty good food mix for a perc. Unless you can identify an actual disease process, I'd hold off on any treatment. Get out a magnifying glass and give the perc a real good look thru the glass to see if you can see wounds, parasites, etc.
