He'll probably end up outliving many of your other fish. I had a wrasse like that, he was a tough old bird

Update:

The fish is actually not doing good. Its becoming thinner and thinner and very less inactive. Its now swimming vertically too. I have tried cyclopeeze, new era flake and mysis but it seems to be least interested in food and whatever it takes in spits out (even the very very small pieces). Started doing this today. No sign of ich or anything (my tank was left fallow for quite a while after the last outbreak months ago so possibly that is helping).

Any suggestion?

It almost looks to me like burnt gills
The last time I saw this was with some freshwater fish that were subjected to chlorine from untreated tapwater, and they didn't make it
Is it on both gills, or just the left side ?

Good luck Raied

Its on one side actually. And as far as I know, burned gill makes the gills rise right? This one has an L shape gill, as if someone tried to pull it but failed.

It stopped eating completely the day I posted my last comment (was eating less before too). I could see it was hungry and struggling and weak. I am guessing my tank doesn't have any ich (after I did the treatment during the last outbreak) and hence no ich got it (knock on the wood). Every morning, it would come up to me when I gave food but it would just look at it and let it pass. I was feeding almost 3/4 times every day, not caring about nitrate (highly overrated skimmer + zeo) but it would just run to the food and not eat it

I even order $50 worth of fauna marin food to save it but its on its way and wont reach my mail till 20th. Alongside, I have to spend about 10am to 9pm everyday at university since I am writing my thesis and so didn't get time to go to LFS. Today morning, when it came to me again for food, I felt so bad that I decided to leave my thesis for the day and get it some more food to try after my afternoon meeting. So, went to concept, bought NLS pallet and brine shrimp and GUESS WHAT!!!!!!! IT ATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :mrgr een:: mrgreen:

It gobbled down those pallets like crazy. It was soooo good to see it finally ate and I could see it was feeling much better. I will start dipping the pallets in selcon from tomorrow. He IS a fighter; just like Cristy said

Sorry for all those melodramatic lines....I am just so excited and relieved that it ate. My sister gave it (and a platinum) as gift and she would have been devastated if it died.

Good to hear he's eating!! Funny what we prioritize for our tanks! I've done the same thing over the past couple of days! Hope he pulls through for you.
