I recently bought a gulper cat and he’s been acting weird and gets pale and pink
Water is good ph around 7.4 eats goldfish even tho I’ve been trying to get it on frozen. Filtration is big sponge filter and fluval 20 hob
Temp 80 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 5-10
He has a power head but I don’t know when to turn off or on. I’ve had previous attempts at gulpers before.

Looks thin. Would turn off the pump. Suggest dose some levamisole to the tank. Try to avoid feeders.
