1 fish not eating

[djhamp]

I have a red zebra that used to be somewhat the bully of the tank. This is a fairly new setup - 2 months or so.

Now he is hanging in the corner and looks scared. I havent seen any fish go after him and he dosnt look beat up at all. I havent seen him eat for 4 days or so, he goes up to the food like he wants it but never eats.
Any ideas gurus?

That looks more like a peacock to me. It could be scared of the others, it looks healthy in this picture. How's its color doing? Try taking it out and giving it a little blood worms to see if it eats them.

Yep looks like a red peacock to me.

Sounds like a gastrointestinal issue, reclusiveness and not eating are signs of illness no matter if its a peacock or not.

I'd either remove the fish into a QT if possible for treatment of internal parasites, if the tank is small enough I'd treat everyone with metrozoidale and Praziquental.
