                  Im sure somebody with more tropheus experience will chime in...

                  Do all the other fish in the tank appear healthy? If so, then I would just let it be... continue to observe though. Possibly treat again. But this maybe a case of survival of the fittest

                    ick doesnt cause the fish to not gain as is an external issue. But if the troph is eating just let it be.

                      Group of the same variant till like its a bit disturbing. He also is being nipped at a little bit

                        Pics or video?

                        Sounds like he might be getting kicked out if the colony.

                            Don't wanna dose the whole tank with meds takes a lot of meds for just one fish and all the other fish are healthy eating breeding.

                            He's gonna get separated in the q tank
