Sorry, to hear that. Maybe QT him and soak some nori in Garlic and see if that will get him to eat? Maybe treat him with some type of antibiotic if he has a parasite, or some time of bacterial infection. Anywho, make sure to post the progress.

Ya, fish are pretty resilient so, i would definitely qt him and treat him, them put him back in to the display. Do you know if anything is picking on him or stressing him out?

If you just have him in a container, cover the sides with black paper or what not so it doesn't stress him out more having people walk by him and stressing him more.
