Hello, I have a common L021, he is 8 years old, had him since he was 1 1/2 inches long.
He had been eating just fine, algae wafers and zucchini but for the last week he hasn't touched anything, not even a nibble off the zucchini (which he usually devours).
One of the lights (there are 2) went out about 3 weeks ago and he's been staying on the side that the light has been out in the top corner, but he had been eating fine. The last week he hasn't touched anything.
His belly looks flat, haven't seen him poop much but was light brown when he did. No fuzzy on him or any outward signs of illness.
He is in a 55g tank, he has 9 tetras, and 4 khuli loaches.
Parameters are:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40
PH 6.8
Temp 79 degrees
Filter is a Eheim 2217 with 2 air stones
Water change is 20% once a week.
Diet is algae wafers (Tetra Veggie waffers) one a day and zucchini 1-2 times a week.
He has driftwood in the tank too.
I will be adding a new light today, but does anyone have any idea's or help about him not eating? Nothing has changed in about 6 months when the tetra's were added (quarantine tank first). It's just been in the last week he stopped eating. :dk:
