WHOOPS!

^^ This is the problem. If one fish has intestinal worms (white stringy poop), then odds are all of his tank mates have them as well.

That wasn't me that wrote that

Guys guys, the one that commented about the foxface isn't the OP. Granted, that doesn't mean Banana or the other poster's foxface do not have parasites but I thought I should mention that.

What is op

Ok great thanks... and what's the best way to feed it? By hand or with the clip?

This would work better than the clip since the fish will just rip it off the clip.

OP means Original Post or Poster which is the person who started the thread.

I like the feeder for nori, Maybe a little larger mesh ?

Yes, great for all the seaweeds!

What is that...i put some on a clip and banana won't go near it. She did eat some that was floating around and she has eaten some mysis. But the seaweed gets really soft and breaks away from the clip

Two little fishies feeder pouch. Prevents from the whole piece being ripped off and hold it flat instead of curling up in the flow. Awesomeness!

So, we're back to square one with Banana. Sometimes you can rubberband nori to a rock, and fish are more inclined to eat it because they naturally graze on rocks anyway.

The white horizontal line is her samurai sword, sharp as a razor.

I use a short piece of 1 1/2' PVC pipe with fishing line tied to it. A rubber band holds the nori on.
Lower it in to what ever depth you decide, let Bananna eat the nori, then pull it out of the tank by the fishing line. Don't even get your hands wet

What Humble meant by that is he and Mel were under the assumption that, because of the mix-up with the foxface post, Banana's main problem was due to internal parasites. Now that we know YOU do not have a second fish exhibiting signs it lessons the proof of that assumption. Hence, we are back to square one trying to figure out what's wrong with Banana.

Ok so I noticed the white spots last night when the blues were on...however this morning when the white are on I don't see any

Have you seen any white spots on Banana since then? He looks perfectly healthy in this picture. Ick would stay on the fish for 3-7 days, not hours. Looking for other symptoms may be helpful if you feel that there is something truly wrong with him.
Look for:
Heavy breathing
Flashing/scratching
Yawning
Head Twitching
Hiding excessively
Lack of appetite
Lethargy
Swimming into the flow of a powerhead or return

And anything else out of the ordinary
