I've had a dojo in quarantine for about a week now. He is skinny but otherwise looked good. He does swim about the tank (he's in there with 2 cories also in quarantine) but is not real outgoing. His skinniness kind of resembles a snake. I thought I'd try it out and see if I could fatten him up a bit.. he does appear that he is slowly gaining, but doesn't eat much. The healthy dojos in my big tank have voracious appetites compared to him. This little guy I see him come out and eat a few bloodworms, but then stops before they're gone. And no, I'm not putting excessive amounts of food in the tank. I have tried flake food as well as daphnia and bloodworms (frozen).
Does it sound like he might have parasites?
I am actually able to get out to the store he came from today. I need advice on what you would do if it were you.. would you keep him and keep trying, or return him to the store?
If anyone's online right now please offer your opinion because if I am going to the store, I have to leave in less than an hour.. I hope someone is here besides me.
