Aquarium Advice FINatic
Well, maybe it's not ailing. All I know is that I have not seen it eat in several days. Now, I've been in the business long enough to see when a fish is ill and dying: listing to one side, strange color/behavior, looking "drunk," bloated, spots, ragged fins etc. This one does not have any those symptoms. When it's feeding time, the Lab hides. I have seen food float right in front if it and it ignores it. Usually every fish I have is voracious at feeding time. I'm half wondering if it is brooding young. I can't get a clear look in it's mouth to see. Everyone else in the tank is healthy and I have not lost any lately. Any suggestions?
