Could it have possibly been flukes?

Discoloration and sudden loss of appetite are some of the symptoms.

Wow!

I thought he was dead long ago. Good job!

Thanks for the compliments all. There were times when I was loosing patience with keeping this guy in the hospital tank, the tank is also my QT so I wasn't able to get any new fish while I was treating him. But I just couldn't believe the perseverance of this little fish so I didn't give up on him. It's amazing what a fish can withstand and survive.

I never really did figure out exactly what caused the problem. I suspect that the loss in appetite was just related to the stress of moving him into the hospital tank. He had a good appetite before I moved him, and once he settled into the new digs he started eating again.
