Loss of appitite after treatment

[amy]

ive just finished treating my axies for anchor worm with octozin at half dose. ive now moved them into a bucket while the free swimming buggers die off but on of them hasnt really eaten since the beginning of the treatment and now the one that ate something is eating nothing and the one that wasnt eating last week is reversing away from the food! water quality is good so whats the problem?

Stress. Its a stressful situation for them and they dont want to eat. Its common. Axies can go quite some time without food. If it's been less than 2 weeks or so, I wouldnt worry. Once they get resettled into their home, they will probably start eating again
