<p>if you had media on the bottom of the fish tank you would have to sift it. but because you don't I would not worry about it. if you have any hiding places for the fish scoop them up with a butterfly net and visually look for them. the hole that was in the fish was pretty large, so I would expect that if there is a parasite you can see it with the naked eye.</p>

<p>Well...ended up doing about a 50% water change and re-configuring the FT to GB water flow routing. So far, so good..fish are acting fairly normal again. Had some trouble with the bell syphons...all seems to be running good now.</p>

<p>Robert, if it had been some form of parasite, how would I check for that?</p>

<p>No, not recently...but they're back to their regular eating habits. This week is a very hectic one, so hopefully, I can do some water tests this Saturday.</p>
<p>My water route goes through a swirl filter, then out to four grow beds (gravel). Very little sediment/solid waste returns to the big tank.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input Alex!</p>

<p>I'm not sure about the other stuff, but the lack of feeding frenzy usually means they're stressed. Have you checked your waste levels recently?</p>
