Eating Problem

[Zushi]

Recently, one of my bloodfin tetras died from some kind of eating problem. Now my other bloodfins have the sickness along with several other tetras. The sick tetras try to eat the flakes, but they always just chew the flakes up and spit them back out. Since they can't eat, they get skinny and then die. Does anyone know what sort of sickness my fish have and what I can do to save them?

It is possible they have internal parasites

Do they look real lethargic? It is possible they have neon tetra disease (can affect your tetras as well)

I have a couple of neons in my tank and all of my tetras are at a stand still except when I feed them. My fish might have the disease. How do you cure it?

[Severus]

Unfortuneatly, there is no real cure. It is almost like cancer. Cysts develop on the muscles of your fish and they deteriorate...

no cure. Its a evil disease. Ive lost tons of neons to it
