Gold Severum please help

[maggiekam1]

I have a Gold Severum that I have now noticed hasn't eaten in two days likes to hang out in the bottom corner of tank. This is not normal behavior. It appears to be okay breathing normal. Does anyone know what could be wrong and what to do? Thank you in advance!!!

That is not the only fish I have 7 total fish 2 of which are the Gold Severums.

Any other symtoms such as stringy white poop, attempting to take food but then spit, or being lethargic? Most new world fish are prone to certain illness like Hexamita. The more information you provide us the better we could help.

Welcome to the forum as well, sorry this had to be your first post.

No white stringy poop that i have noticed, I call her she not sure if she is or not but for sake of this thats what I'll call it. She does move around some more when the light is off, but when i feed the fish she goes back down in her corner along the bottom. And doesn't come up for any food. Doesn't look like she even trys to get any that may fall her way.

She is prolly a year and a half old, we have had them maybe 9 months.

What are her tankmates and what size tank is this? A fish that is more active at night when the lights are out sounds like stress, they will come out when the lights are off since they are less of a target for other fish. Is it possible she's being bullied?

Just like humans when they are stressed there will physical and behavioral symtoms.
