@ this point it may be too late. Try 82° w/tablespoon of salt per 10gallons and lites off.

1st id change 50% of water.

What are ur water params?

yea +1, if you havent got a test kit tut tut get some water to your local fish store and they'll check it if they're any good... also have you got any ornaments or decor that could be leaching chemicals?? i.e stuff that wasnt made to go in an aquarium?

He just pooped yesterday. I been adding Epsom salt and melafix. I hope he turns out ok

Yeah, sucks but just do what you gotta do. Im not sure what the Melafix would do or if should be used at all.

Was this gradual? Or did this happen in 1 day?

This happened suddenly, I fed him hikari large pellets in the red package. I gave him like 10 pellets and he just blew up as well as his eyes.

Hmm it may have been a bad reaction to all the starch in hikari and when i switch food brands i generally do a 50/50 mix off old and new food for a week to wean them off the old stuff.

GL and sorry!

Id def leave lites off for comfort
