Male or female?

Clean water, lots of air, maybe keep the lights off for a while to keep down the stress. He may well pull through, probably just stressed as hell and alittle toxed out from the lack of water movement for so long and water temp fluxing. That's just my 2¢ good luck my friend! Let us know.

All good, I got him with the silent treatment, he texted me today saying
"IF YOU WANT TAKE IT FOR 50"
For some reason he only texts with caps lock on

that's how you know hes all business all the time.

EMERGENCY
I was driving to pick up the fish today and as I was a hour into my trip the seller told me he has had a power outage all day and the fish is barely alive!
I looked at him and he didn't look good at all, I offered to take the fish from the guy for free and he accepted, the fish survived the hour and 15mim trip home , now he is struggling to keep balanced and is barely breathing, how can I fix him!? Don't want him to die! I know there's a very low chance of him surviving but he looks like a fighter so I'm giving him a chance!
Any tips or help will be greatly appreciated!

....did you just score a free fish because the dude decided to try and kill it...that's outrageous.

He'll be alright, too many fluctuations all at once, if he survived the trip home in a bucket, he'll most likely make it.

its not the guys fault, he was at work when the power went out and got no message from the council to tell him the power is out, I'm currently water changing and put 2 extra air hoses into the tank, and yes, I might have just got a free jag

Should I keep him propped upright or let him float around cause he ain't swimmin very well

t'was a joke my good man.

I've found in the past when a fish is shocked like that I put a powerhead facing them from the opposite of the tank to generate water movement over the gills easier. Seems to really help fish that are having issues swimming/breathing. just my .02

I never feel bad. "mission failed, we'll get 'em next time!".

Good deal, I've saved a few fish with that technique, my moneys on him/her/it pulling through. I generally prop the fish up, be careful though they can panic when trapped.

Hahaha damn I'll have to try harder next time...
Yeh he has already escaped the prop twice so he will probably escape it again while I'm asleep tonight, did you see the photo? His eyes are all cloudy what's that from?

almost always bad water quality. He got shocked pretty bad from an ammo buildup probably.
