Well since this was just moved to proper forum I just saw it. How's it doing?
You originally posted in brackish? You don't have it set up brackish do you? So many questions right now! Temp? Parameters?

it’s a delhezi the lights are always dim in my tank that’s how I have them set and I have a little hut for them to hide in I have other bichir in the tank with him, I’ve had them for about a year now and all of a sudden he just lost it
you said you have had him for a year? How big is he? Did you just move him to the 10 gallon?

Yeah, you mention a 125 is on hold but you've had these polys in a 10 gallon tank for a year? They are going need a larger tank now. 10 gallons with anything but small fish can be challenging to keep stable parameter-wise.

What are your water parameters?

We need to know the answers to these questions to help your little guy. I hope he's improving.

You mean the user is gone? And the fish died? :(
Sorry.... I don't know. He's 17 been a member since 11/17 a couple posts and hasn't been active in almost 2 weeks. Oh and he's possibly keeping a bunch of fish in a 10 gal tank. He originally posted in the brackish forum, is he keeping them in salt? I think it's a troll but I could be wrong. I hope I'm not wrong. Because that's some bad fish keeping right there. If I'm wrong and this is/was legit I'm sorry to op, but where did you go? Why arent you demanding answers or posting in multiple spots. The forum isn't hard to navigate. It's gotta be a troll this can't be real.

Sorry, I only come here when there is a problem I cannot figure out in a panic I posted bichir in marine/saltwater the tank was freshwater and the bichir lived, it was bloat the salt helped but later in the year he jumped out the back of what I though was a secure lid after a year of them living there, so I moved them to a 75 gallon with a secure lid, the inhabitants of the ten gallon at the time were 2 delhezi bichir 5 inches, 3 senegal bichir 5 inches, and endlicheri bichir 6 inches I could post pictures if you want
