PART 1:
My German Red Peacock has been spitting his food out ever since I got him (2.5 weeks and counting I think). His stomach isn't inverted, so there MUST be something going inside his stomach. I have him in a 10g QT right now and have tried both New Life Spectrum and New Era pellets (New Era being a very soft pellet), but he spits them both out. What could be going on? His feces is also a regular pink/orange, so I'm not sure what's going on.
I bought some Seachem Kanaplex and some Seachem Metro, will be using the Kanaplex since it should have more affect on the fish since it goes through the skin; whereas Metro would be better off fed to him (obviously not an option for this little guy). Any other suggestions? I add 3 TSP of Epsom salt per water change to maintain a high GH, so this basic remedy to some diseases/illnesses is out.
PART 2:
Got this Aul. Saulosi Green Face on Saturday, but he has white waste/feces and his belly area looks a bit off (bloated a tad?). He still eats very well and yesterday his waste was actually a regular orangey color, but today it's back to white. I've treated him with Kanaplex and Metro and now have him in my 10 gallon quarantine tank with my German Red in order to treat both with Kanaplex & Metro. Any advice or input would be GREATLY appreciated.
