What the title suggests. I have a Virgate rabbit which is about 4"-5" long. He eats like a horse and has gained about 1/2" in length since I got him a little more than a year ago. He doesn't show signs of stress and swims around freely and without care. I am concerned because no matter how much he eats, he reamins paper thin. I feed him nori and cyclops (as with all my fish). His coloration is very good.

I am curious whether he might have internal parasites although there is little outward signs other than no weight gain. Is there anything safe to add to food and/or feed which might help if this were a correct assumption? I do not want to harm my reef however.

Sounds like your chasing a fix to a perceived problem. Honestly, I wouldnt worry about it if the fish has good coloration, a healthy appetite, and there's food available. You may chose to add some meaty foods to his diet, my foxface loves freeze dried krill and mysis shrimp.

try prazi pro by hikari in the food. they don't like how this tastes so it may take a couple of days.

I agree!Feed them this not hay and oats(he's not a horse!)

Chris--One of the reasons he has gone a year without treatment was just what you said...I wanted to make sure it was not something I was overreacting about. I guess I wanted to get everyone's input before I decided to dose with anything.

Scott, what is Prazi Pro? I could look it up but I would rather get information from someone who has used it first.
