SRC Member Sea hare Posted April 29, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2015 No I am not new to the hobby.. However something strange.. My Anthia looks like he is becoming thinner. My female damsels (two became male) seem to have reduced size.. Am sure my eyes are not playing tricks.. Am feeding all fish proper and the tang have grown and so have clowns. Any ideas?

SRC Member Sea hare Posted April 29, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2015 Don't think so mate.. Have a lot of pods in the tank as well. Also the fish are feeding normal.. Don't think feeding is an issue. Feed the tangs algae and then introduce pellets or misys which they eat. Also doubt anyone can out compete my damsels. Handful and active. No signs of disease so not worried. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member fishcake Posted April 29, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2015 i have found that henrys reef gourmet helps. ask for the one specifically formulated for intestinal parasites though. there are other types of medication available but i do not know them.

SRC Member kenyee Posted April 29, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2015 All fishes growth rate r different..those grow faster will make those grow slow look like they have shrink..to share my vlamingi & unicorn tangs make my AT look so small n thin but in actual fact my AT is growing too..my yellow wrasse make my bluehead wrasse look small n thin too.. to summarize, if all fishes r active & feeding well, no worries..cheers Quote @ 291213 Updated video: Kenyee FOWLR http://m.youtube.com/my_videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member asg Posted April 30, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted April 30, 2015 The cue is the stomach. If your fish stomach is round and solid then it shall be fine. A fish can be eaten well but its body might not absord any nutritent due to parasites thus its stomach is important. Quote 子非鱼,焉知鱼之乐... (you are not the fish so you...)

I second this..the stomach must not be concave after a month with him feeding..my experience is a clown tang that feed mysis but stomach n body still thin..he eventually rip after 2 months..

SRC Member ml708 Posted May 1, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted May 1, 2015 Prazi gold might work provided that its not an issue of lack of feeding due to competition from other fish. You can get it at places like polyart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
