Help with my damsel

[Akakta]

So I have a four stripe damsel. He is about three or four years old. My problem is since one of my tangs died he has not been eating, the other fish have been beating him up since the other tang died. Before the other tang died. None other the fish attack him. So any ways he's not eating and hasn't eaten in a while. Well at least not that I have seen. What should I do??

You can try rearranging the rock work to make the tank seem new to the fish. You can also try to target feed the other fish and feed the damsel separate by adding food to where the other fish are. What other fish do you have and what size tank? Good luck!

Two clown fish and a Blue regal tang and the damsel. I have a 150 bow front. And the damsel stay on one side of the tank. So when I feed them. The feed is dispersed Real well and feed will pass right in front of him with no other fish around and still won't eat. I have treated the tank for parasites and what not.

"Treated the tank for parasites", that sends up a red flag.

Anything I can do?

 

[Mike J.]

How did your tang die? Ich? What did you use to treat the tank? Are you using carbon for filtration? In nature a sick or wounded fish gets predated upon quickly. Really need more info.

What killed the tang I don't know. My friend said that it might have been parasites. So I treated with paraguard for five days. I have a wet/dry filter and I have added last week a carbon filter. If you need more info just ask and I will provide what ever info I can. And thank you ahead of time for everyone's help!
