Troph not eating

Re: Troph not eating

Was it up to par for 22fish worth of bioload?

Did you acclimate them?

If all the fish are new and there was no existing inhabitants then its not aggression.

Again lack of info isn't helping.

Re: Troph not eating

In your first post you said these fish are eating, but just not as much as the others.

How long have you had them?

Are these juvinile fish or adults?

I would not recomend daily waterchange when using CLOUT unless you know you are 100% established aquarium.  CLOUT can do some damage, but if you just added more fish, things might not be well suited to CLOUT regime and daily waterchanges.  Minimally, perfomr every 3rd and do not deep gravel vaccum, except on the first day and once your done.

Re: Troph not eating

Sorry to hear the bad news. I wonder what the root cause is..... :(

Re: Troph not eating

What is your current dosing regime?

I have treated bloated trophs before with just epsom and metro. But you have to hit them hard.

Metro is only active for about 8hrs. and what I do is hit it again right then, also do 50-70% wc after each treatment along with epsom.

Increase the heat up to 83f slowly to increase metabolism and hunger.... soak foods in metro and garlic dip.

Re: Troph not eating

If you continue to loose more fish, I'd switch to CLOUT.

Personally I'd switch now, but it is up to you...they are your fish.
