I have removed two holding females from my Peacock tank, now over the weekend I found a third holding female (Electric Yellow) not sure who the pappa is, but I am planning on keeping her in the tank and just let the fry become food. But I have another issue, I removed a very nice Ngara Flametail from my display tank last week because he was getting picked on too much, after moving he came down with ICK, I treated the tank by turning up the heater to 86 degrees and added in salt. The ICK has dropped off and I am now keeping the temp at 86 and adding salt to the tank for the next week or so to make sure the ICK is complete dead. The ISSUE is the Ngara Flametail is not eating and has not been eating since I removed it from the show tank. I suspect that he was a pappa to one of the females and he is now depressed and is not eating and his color is beginning to fade out....
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SAVE THIS FISH ? He was one of my best show males prior to this issue...
