hey guys wanted to let everyone whats going on with my jag. first off hes about 12inchs had him since 2inchs. i woke this morning and found him upside down and barely breathing. his eyes were all hazed over and he was dry feeling. so i took him to my freinds fish store locally and we held him upright in a salt water tank for a few mins to treat him for anything. he still didnt stay upright. now hes in a 70 gal tube with melafix and pimafix treatment. hes still breathing but still struggling to move or to stay upright. i didnt do anything different in my tank since last night except add stress zyme. i do have a 5 inch female freddy in the tank with him. i put a divider up yesterday for her so she could swim around and she did she swam by him then back to the area when she got scared. he didnt look like he had gotten beaten up by her. no open wounds no scales missing. this is in a 150 gal tank. the freddy is perfectly fine as we speak. she is swimming all around the tank and doesnt looked stressed by anymeans. me and my fish store buddy are unsure what caused this to happen to my jag. i have my fingers crossed for him. i woke up at 11am thats when i found him.
 
when i came home after i dropped him off at the fish store i came home and treated the tank he was in to make sure nothing happened to my female.
 
at least you caught him while he was still alive and are trying to do something to help him. hope he pulls through.
 
yea the weird thing is he looked fine last night before i went to bed. i didnt notice anything unusual with him.
 
i will do that. my buddy at the fish store said he was gonna check on every so often till he closed up for the night at 8.
 
yea i dont know if it was quick enough, i hope so. i have no idea how long he was like that before i found him. my mom was in the room like an hour before i got up but the lights were off and she couldnt see in there.
