well, too late for quarantine. It is under stress, white spots and under nutrition. Better feed more times. Hopes in time this will reduce stress when it is in main tank.

after 5 days, it should be eating. perhaps it still not use to your food. Try mysis. hopes with those things to graze on LR, it will survive to acclimate to your food.
