ok after doing a quick google it says carbon may cause this or lack of a good diet or water changes....

thinking back it devolped as soon as i put carbon in the filter..........hes a picky eater and only seems to eat new life spectrum pellets.... hes in a 20G QT and i change 5 gal every 5-6 days so i cant see a lack of water changes being the cause

thanks for the quick reply!!

yeah that might help, or try a different brand of nori. mine wouldn't eat it until he saw other fish eating it, now he guns it down like its going out of style
