    I have had my new yellow watchman in the qt for 11 days, he barely eats and is slowly turning white. He does not appear ti have ich or anything visible. Suggestions?

    No, the tank has also been up for months with some LR, a small cuc and a serpent star. I checked the params today and everything was 0. In hind sight I did ass some of the nitrate removing gravel to the canister in a filter bag

    out of curiosity check you nitrate removal stuff, I accidentally bought freshwater nitrate and amnonia media and lost 2 fish within 2 days before I caught on, I Removed the media did a water change and doubled my carbon for a week, the rest survived
