]It's being a while since I posted here...
I've had Sally for almost four months now.
Up until last month everything was fine. Last month there was an ammonia spike. I found a half eaten worm buried in the sand. I got the water levels back in control but she developed a fungus on her gills. I did salt baths on her for four days and during those four days she ate just fine.
But when I put her back in the main tank, she stopped eating. Her eyes are puffy and white, it kind of looks like funugs. The water levels are all fine though, Ammonia, Nitrite are 0. I've being testing them every day.
It's being almost a month since she ate and the weight loss is obvious. I wouldn't say she is drastically underweight, but she has lost a lot. I've tried earthworms, pellets, bloodworms and even treats like beef heart and prawns. She just walks away from whatever I try to give her.
The last four days I've tried salt baths again for her eyes and fridged her even though I was worried about her weight. I've taken her out the fridge now because every time I opened the container she would start trying to climb out. The salt hasn't made any difference to her eyes.
Is there anything else I can do?
This is the best picture I could get of her
