I went got new fish fish (same brand, just bloodworm), and gave some to all my fish. My guppies loved it, and so did everyone else but the plecos and most importantly, my BGK. I took him out very carefully, in a large net (would've used isolation tank, but it needs to be cleaned, filled, etc), and tried to feed him. He completely ignored it, half-slacking on my hand, half-rapid breathing. I held him a little to see if he had lumps or something, nothing. He seemed perfectly normal, except the fact he's not eating at all. When I let him out, he had "trouble" getting down, he swam backwards-upside down, and fell to the rock, and swam into it's cave. He began swimming like he did, at the ceiling of it, but ignored the wafer I gave him. After a while, I found him resting as if he was dead. He was like that when I put the new airstone in. It's worrying me, he's the only fish that seems to have problems. Will be checking the ammonia and pH (my nitrate is tested by water, other two have automatic readings on some thing lol) tomorrow, and posting it sometime. I'd be okay, but a little upset if any of my fish died, but I'd be devastated if Kuro (BGK) died, I just got him about a month ago, and can't return him now. He also nipped a few guppies tails, but that was it towards to other fish. Can anyone suggest any really fast remedies? I can only give him brine shrimp again when my dad comes home, and takes me to the Pet Store again. Is it some disease? He seems to be dying, and ignoring all the food I give him. Please be quick! Thank you!
