Hi guys,

One of my tang is getting thinner and thinner.

the fish is eating well and active, however it is getting THINNER
not sure if it is some intestine problem or some disease eating away
the flesh from inside out. mw_sick.gif mw_sick.gif

The fish is losing its coat shine as well.

Worry, pls advice.
Food/Medication?

cheers

HFMD?? biggrin2.gif biggrin2.gif

Just kidding... sounds like a cyanide case... or maybe HLLE, which is due to malnutrition.... sad.gif

IMHO, the chances of cyanide seems more likely...

Unlikely to be cyanide coz the fish with me for coming 3yrs sad.gif
not sure if it is some disease or bacteria ... coz other fish seems ok ...
I'll try feeding more for this couple of weeks and observe the fish ...
I've added garlic and Vit-C to their diet just in case
