Does he have cloudy eyes at all? mine stopped eating and developed cloud eyes. I read online that low pH can cause that and I tested mine and it was 6!, must have been all the plants and driftwood. I raised the pH with dead coral pieces and he recovered and started eating again. Sadly he stopped eating again even with higher pH, I didn't have much to treat him with so tried salt baths but it didn't work. Unfortunately after about 2 months of not eating he passed away, lost his sense of buoyancy a few days before than died. cheers mick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
