how's your water quality?

any external factors that may also be causing it to be in stress?

i think madumi yung tubig ng QT ko kasi ang filter lang na gamit ko yung ordinary hang-on filter. nagWC na ko and cleaned the filter.

lipat ko na ba siya sa main tank o i-treat ko muna? ang hina na niya lumangoy eh. dati super active, ngayon ang hina talaga. im really worried. ayaw pa kumain.

Move the fish to as you never want to medicate the main tank and add one erythromycin tablet per 10 gallons of water, check the ammonia levels a few times a day as that will become a real danger to the fish should it rise, which it will since this is an anti-bacterial and you will not develop a proper bacterial filter to cycle the QT. If you note any problems with the fish or if ammonia levels rise, do a water change and remedicate. Within a week or two, you should see the fish improve.
I don't know how available it is here, but check your LFS or those online here if they carry a medicated fish food as it would be better if you could get the fish to actualy swallow the medicine and get it as internal as the bacteria are.
