Here is a link to an article I wrote on chloroquine:

Aquarium Fish: Chloroquine: A “New” Drug for Treating Fish Diseases

Fish looks good from the short video. Acclimation and quarantining will assure it remains as such

That fish isn't showing any acute signs of disease, but that doesn't mean that it isn't harboring some issue that may show up in a few days to a week later.

It should not have stopped eating for more than a day after bringing it home. What was the salinity difference between the store’s tank and yours?
