My Blonde Naso Ive had for at least a year is not eating for some reason. Looks fine, no signs of ich or anything else, just a severly pinched belly. She is moving a bit slow and maybe a little weak. She is normally the first to snatch the nori and tear it up but the last week or so she just swims all around it, not interested.

Only change is a magnificent foxface I added 2 weeks ago but they get along just fine...Im thinking it be an internal infection?

Im not sure if I should move to QT or wait it out? Im traveling Sat-Tue so i am trying to act fast or not at all.
 
Can't offer any advice but maybe a little moral support. Hope she pulls through it.
 
Id qt if possible that way if it dies ehile your away your display isn't going to suffer from dead fish. Plus you can treat with lots more stuff for cheaper in qt tanks. Is it not eating at all? My powder blue just did this as well. I trapped qt and used entice metro tons of garlic and mysis he started eating that after i added tiny pieces of nori an he began to peck again after a few days. I dosed with lifeguard a tetra product and it worked i guess been over 2 weeks and he is eating both again normal and filling back in slowly.
 
Still not eating well, I started feeding flake and she is munching here and there but still not doing well.

Belly is still pinched and overall she is looking pretty weak and thin. When i get back in town tomorrow night I think I am going for the QT to fatten her up again. Im thinking maybe it is an internal parasite or infection but I dont want to treat for something that may not be....
