I have my feedings on a tight schedule - twice a day. I try very hard to error on the side of caution and am more than likely stingy on feedings as to not cause other issues. I feed the fish Brine Shrimp and other fish I feed flakes. The Cardinal oddly enough will usually eat both. He is always pretty active at feeding times, but lately he isn't. He knows there is food in the tank, but when it gets near him it is almost like he can't see it?? I don't think he's blind or anything as he doesn't bump into things...he just seems lazy. Having not eaten in nearly two days now I'm starting to think he has some sort of disease or something???
I'll try the Garlic dip tonight. I tried to feed by hand but he bolts away. I don't want to stress him any further if something is wrong.... I've check water parameters and all good as well......
I've read things about mysterious deaths etc. and them being hard fish to look after but I've never had an issue. I've had him for months and he is always very active - especially at feeding times.
