tang losing weight?

Has anyone experienced a tang or any fish for that matter, that appears to be starving, yet it eats heartily? Internal parasites are my guess, but i don't know what to do about them. Any ideas? The fish is thin enough to see his ribs easily, and a very sunken in stomach. He's eating a mix of brine shrimp, dried seaweed, kelp flakes, and pellets.


thanks

Get a medication that treats internal parasites.

Your local fish store should be able to recommend something. If not go to www.liveaquria.com
