Default sick dragonette

Don't always believe them when they say something is
tank raised. And even if it is tank raised, they may
have subjected it to coper and other harmful chemicals.

Yup.
That'd be the first thing to look at with any type of dragonette.

However:
They eat pods. There are enough pods in the tank that at the moment,
there are actually pods crawling ON him. I don't think food availability
is the issue.

In any case, this is one of those tank raised ones (bought him at
DEATHCO - YAH, I KNOW...) that is willing to eat frozen foods.

Had him 8 months - he seemed to be eating well enough. I think it's
something else.
