I think technically any medication can do this and probably does to an extent. But more likely it is being caused by general bad health caused by something you are looking to eliminate anyway. The general consensus on this forum seems to side with any fish that dies during proper medication dosing was likely a goner to begin with.

Thanks. One of the fish I have in Quarantine, a Scribbled Rabbit, stopped eating nori off the clip. It's still eating LRS reef frenzy. Not sure if it's from the metro or not.

I'd think that it's most likely just from the stress of being in qt, the important thing is that he is still eating something. My blue hippo that is in qt right now will sometimes eat a lot of nori and sometimes won't touch it

So you would have no second thoughts adding to the display if it's not eating off the clip?

The only second thoughts I would have is if i wasn't sure the fish was free of diseases. I'm planning on adding a couple black mollies to my qt before transferring my fish into the dt to be certain

I have never experienced any appetite suppression from metronidazole.

So I ordered a pound of Red Garcilaria. Hoping some fresh macro may trigger a response. It's still eating the LRS and I am changing it up between reef and fertility frenzy. Maybe I should try the herbivore preperation.
