The usual :

Parasite Guard
Metro (powder and flake food)
Bifuran
Nitrofurazone
Clout
Copper Sulfate
Methylene Blue
Salt
Epsom Salt
Baking Soda (as pH and hardness buffer)

Have you tried frozen mysis shrimp? If the fish is eating and thin, that doesnt always imply internal parasites. You can always treat the tank or fish as a precaution. I will isolate the fish and try to see her reaction to food. If the reaction is slow, then she's just not getting to the food on time. If reaction is same as fish in the main tank, then definitely sick.

Rene, that's why I told him this :

Give her time. My Lueba colony were all like that and it took me almost 3 months to get them healthy and now I have one holding from last weekend

One month is sometimes not enough to turn a fish around.

This is a new group tropheus so they don't like pellet they just eat the ken's flake only don't want nothing else so I cant feed them like my Red Rainbow the food soaked with clout. Also they like ken's med but I still have a trouble .
I will go to walmart or petsmart tomorrow to get some Tetra Parasite guard. Thank you Sunny.

Dont feed them for 1day, then throw in some algae wafers or pellets (new food). If they dont eat it, get it out of the tank if you can and dont feed them. Do this for 3days until they start eating the new food. As a reward, give them the food that they like if they finish or at least eat some of the new food. Fish can go 3days without any food and that wont affect their health

It's just one fish that's sick Rene

I agree totally ...

Yes. Hung said fish are not eating anything except kens flake. the proposed trick is to switch fish to new food ...lol

[SunnyHouTX]

Only complaint is that the one fish is skinny, which also is not a big deal as she's behaving normally. She just needs time, and maybe meds if needed. Having them eat pellets is also dependent on time and I think Hung has that under control going on his fishkeeping skills.
