[URGENT] Adonis Pleco not eating

[Peylix]

Hey guys. It's been a while since I have been on here.

So my Adonis pleco has not been eating. He was fine until 2 weeks ago. He stopped eating and a few days later someone bit his lower lyre off. I immediately swapped him from my 55g to the 10g hospital and treated with both Melafix and Pimafix. The wound has healed nicely but he wont eat anything.

I've tried EVERYTHING food wise. Name it and I tried feeding it to him.

He has lost weight and his eyes are now starting to recede a little. I'm sure he doesn't have long. =[

I'm about to start a Levi bath to treat for internal parasites but I don't see any real signs for that in him or any of my other fish in the 55g.


I don't know what to do and I don't want to lose him. :'(

I assume you're trying very meaty stuff like cocktail shrimp?

He is carnivorous, so maybe some shrimp may entice him. I would also soak the shrimp in a tablespoon of epsom salt and a TBL of water, it wouldnt hurt to add metro to that as well, also treat the tank with 1TBL epsom salt to 5 gal of water.
