Swallow tail bloated

[bhavy]

Male swallow tail angel had a bloated stomach. He looks great and swam great! Read that sometimes they gulp air when eating from the surface . Then noticed one day no bloating but now hangs out where he sleeps and isn’t interested in eating ? Still looks good just not active . Any ideas?

If you could give some background info for your tank it will help the experts here narrow it down.
Params:
Any new additions:
QT'd: yes or no
Tank size:

Any other info that may help them pinpoint will speed things up. Good luck and those better at determining will be along shortly.

How long have you had this fish?

Was the fish QTd?

Hi
Yes fish QT’d for 30 days with appropriate copper levels along with a female swallow tail.
Tank is a 200 gal. System 2years old . This Fish looks pristine! I was so happy it’s immune system was strong because I know my tank has ick but all fish show no signs. When he was bloated he ate and was very active. Now that he’s not he kinda just hangs at the bottom. Doesn’t seem to have a buoyancy issue .

Did you run them through prazi for internal parasites?

 

[bhavy]

No I did not
What about medicated food now?

Couldnt hurt and will rule out parasites.

This male spotbreast acts totally normal except he kinda hides and doesn’t eat. He literally cases food but doesn’t open his mouth as if it’s glued shut. So weird any thoughts
