loss of appetite after prazi

[Qasimja]

I have 6 fish in qt tomato pair carberryi anthias pair foxface and a coral beauty have been in QT 8 days ive been dosing metroplex every 48 hours was planning on doin this for 10 days on sunday i dosed the first round of prazi now i noticed last night and this morning the fish will mouth the food then spit it back out they dont eat like when i first got them so i did a 7 gallon water change this morning its a 55G tank but only has about 37G in it i also noticed this morning there was a small bacteria bloom should i run carbon? also ammonia is 0 according to my ammonia alert badge i will do a test for nitrite and nitrate in a bit i have 2 air pumps and 1 powerhead in there so im 100% sure its not an oxygen problem they arent breathing heavily or anything

Prazi is a known appetite suppressant. If the fish continue to not eat and get skinny, water change to bring medication levels down until they start eating again. As long as ammonia stays down to nondetectable, I don't concern to much with nitrate as fish can tolerate heightened levels.

i ran carbon to remove the prazi and metro i was dosing into the tank and the fish seem to be eating again i thought prazipro was used up in the water after 24 hours? kinda weird after dosing 2-3 days later they would lose their appetite could it be because i dosed prazipro while metroplex was also being dosed it did cause a mini bacterial bloom
