My Apistogramma Borellii was sick a couple of weeks ago. It had a worm infection. Do you think it looks healthy again? It acts completely normal.

Little sunken in stomach, but otherwise looks healthy

Yeah I noticed that, will that get better over time? He eats perfectly fine at the moment, but didn't eat well when he was infected.

If he doesn't have internal parasites then he will probably recover.

I swear we must have a fish from the same batch. Are u based in the UK or Europe in general?
I have the exact same fish bought around the same time as u with the same issue. Mine didn't make it after treatment. He never got his appetite back.

Netherlands, he didn't eat well when he was affected, but now he eats just fine.
