Thanks David.
I think slightly larger ones aren't as sensitive. If this one survives I'll be happy. I'll be heading to work soon... Hopefully it's taken a turn for the better.

from what I understand the bloat issue is usually only with juveniles and once they reach 3-4" then they aren't nearly as susceptible to it. however I'd still maintain the clean, oxygen rich water for them even as they grow larger.
I hope they are, i did have 5 fry before about 1", had them and they died within 24hours,i was gutted but i didnt do anything wrong so i found out the bloke to sold them also had that problem and lost 55 fish but at the same day of loosing them, his larger 7 formed 3 pairs and all bredWildCAught;1729131; said:
iam getting one of those pairs.sinking foods supposed to be better for bloat prone fish, insted of floating?
updates on the little guy.....
He's still a bit bloated. Huffing has slowed down. I introduced a powerhead with rotating spout and venturi on.
All sajica's recovered though. I put in a 200 watt heater to replace my broken 150w.

The last one did not make it. he had food once in the last week. I had raised the temp and added the powerhead, but it was too late. It semed very skinny aside from the huge belly. I'm disappointed but I will look at this as a learning experience.
