Everything is zero? you should have some nitrates in there. is the tank newly set up?
how long has the gar been in there? / acting this way?
whats your water temp? is he breathing heavilly? what does his skin look like?

 

[Calc]

he have been in there for around 1.5 month, his skin looks very dark,
oh well, thank you guys, he just passed away, he is under a big tree in my backyard now..
