Aaah.......I thought that was just anti parasite, I'm an esha queen myself, seems to cure all when I have had problems, though I have never had a none eater to treat before.
I think if it were me I'd be trying hard to grow some nice green algae of some rocks and see if it will at least have a munch on that. At least it will give a clue as to whether it's an issue of acclimatisation and finding the right food to tempt him. You're little L144's Lisa just love mushroom, it's by far their favourite, they can see off a huge one in a day. It could just be trial and error assuming the meds don't work

i havent wormed it, not even sure what to use for that. i am currently treating for parasites though
Careful of using too many meds at the same time, especially as you're not 100% certain what (if anything) you're treating
Is it the jungle labs one?
If so, thatll be all you need, it has prazi and metro in it, if you can get him to eat that is.
:yes: agreed
well i think iwaited too long to start treating the fish because it was dead when i got home for lunch today. along with my big marble veil male angel too. Im not too happy about it. I dd a big water change, gonna do t again tomorrow and possible treat the tank still to be safe
Sorry to hear about that. Wild caught fish can often be a problem unfortunatley, and you have no idea what diseases they may be bringing with them. It's always a good idea to have a quarantine tank for new fish. I always keep a small spare filter going in one of my main tanks to have something ready to go when needed.
L200's are beautiful fish, try and find a hobby breeder to buy one from.

Must say i do the same for my marine tank and tropicals, i use a fluval 2+ in most of the juwels, it tucks nicely infront of the pre installed filter,
Additionally quantine is a pain i know but it does not have to be set up permantly which is what most people assume, if you use the above method of running a spare filter in an established tank, you are ready to go within hours, you can even use the established tank for water etc... i often water change my main for the quantine tanks.
OP sorry for your lost, ive lost a pleco before L264 because he just refused to eat. I understand how you feel.
