Any info on the tank stats? Temp? Levels? Etc? What are you feeding? How much? Have you tried treating for internal parasites?

How many times must I say this.....BRINE SHRIMP HAS NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE!
Ok, So maybe you never saw me say this over and over but it really doesn't. It's great to use baby brine to feed fry because at that stage they have some left but when purchased as a frozen food they have none! Feed instead, Mysis Shrimp! Very nutritious & fish go crazy for it. Also, Bloodworms are not really a good saltwater food source. Flakes are ok, Pellets also. Mix up the frozen with Mysis, Formula One, Formula 2, etc. But whatever you do, Dump the brine.

How long have you had them? Are they about the same size? Just asking. I got two the same size and the one beat up the other for a week or two. It would not eat and got really thin. I thought for sure it was a done for.
I think the one turned female and the one that got beat up turned male. After two weeks they could not get any closer. They are almost always touching at night. |

If the skinny one is constantly henpecked by the other, then that alone can explain it, or most of it. If not, then look at internal parasites or even damaged internal organs.
