They like highly oxygenated tanks therefore have a powerhead operating near the surface of the water.

They also eat brown algae so see if you can get your hands on some, soak it in garlic extreeme and place it near where it is hanging out.

Feed the other fish on the side of the tank.

Good Luck
Ok, will do. for tonight i m going to put in more airtration, and if it still doesnt get well then I m going to QT it and try to save it anyway I can.

also, It seems as if his micro bubble spots are getting worse.. could it be ich? And internal parasite a the same time?

would Ich cause a fish not to eat though?
