    if he is eatin really good then i wouldnt be two worried. and if all your parameters are fine then i wouldnt worry to much. i can only think about like parasites or bullying at the moment that could be any other problems besides if you dont have a ground probe?

    no i dont have a grounding probe but i doubt thats the problem though.. i could say parasites since i had ich before but i dont see anything on the foxface or anyone else really. i would of guess if it was parasites he would have died already or i could have seen some other signs dont you think?
    i mean its been over 2 months now.

    i hope that if he continues his diet he would get better. ( if he is sick anyway)

    It couldn't hurt to try a grounding probe. They are not expensive and it could only help your fish. not saying thats the problem with your foxface, but just the slightest electrical current in the water would stress out any fish.

    well if your running alot of equipment in your tanks ex. protein skimmer, pump, powerhead. it can put a current in you tank which can stress your fish. but thats true about the parasites. if it doesnt seem like he has them and he is eating well he should be fine.
