i have a naso male streamer about 8-9inches its pretty big... had it for about a month now was doing great eating like a champ...
All of a sudden it just stopped eating today and had markings on its left side and a mark on its forhead and has laterial line on the left side but not the right...Do u guys think it was harrased by one of the fishes so it stoped eating cause of stressed? well i took him out the DP tank and put it in a QT.. did i do the right thing or should i just had left it in the DP tank?

it's hard to make suggestions without more information.

how big is your tank?
what were you feeding it?
what are your water parameters (ph, temp, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate)?
how long has it not been eating?
what tankmates is it kept with?
has anything changed recently, such as new tankmates?

did you see it get harassed by any other fish?

do you have a picture of the markings?

usually those kinds of problem are associated with water quality, diet or other stressors. without knowing more about your system, it's impossible to help very much.

Any reason? How did you solve the problem? We might use it in the future and learn something from your experience.

i just put it in a QT tank by itself, till it was confident enough to eat. once it started eating i waited a day after put it back in the main DP tank now its eating like crazy once again and healed up.

heres the naso streamer the big one on top left

If it stopped eating in the DT but started to eat again in the QT seems like stress to me. I would monitor it a bit closely the next couple of days to see if any fish is harassing it. It's a beautiful fish!
