A couple of weeks ago I made some changes to their 39g tank (removed substrate & increased salinity from 1.014 to 1.016 over the week). A couple of days later Jackson stopped eating, swimming & playing like he usually does. Nicole remains unchanged. Jackson is dark around his mouth and on the sides of his belly, so I know he's stressed. I dropped a snail right beside him and he ignored it. He's not eating normally. He's lying on the floor of the tank doing nothing most of the time. Sometimes he takes off swimming, goes exploring for a few minutes and then settles somewhere either in his cave or his castle. I've only seen him eat twice in the last 10 days.
Is he mad at me? Is he sad or depressed because I redecorated? Should I treat him for internal parasites? If so what should I use?
I went to city pets but the lady didn't know whether to treat as fresh or salt & I left empty-handed. I'm going to buy some clams for him today and see if something different perks him up.
Any advice or input is appreciated!
