Just brought home a 6 inch NGT,
its quite thin, its been in the lfs for a while, the lfs brought lots of NGT a few months ago,
dropped by to get one, but they are all thin, I picked the most stable looking one, the others were hiding and quite dark.

but when i placed the fish into my tank, it was just floating around?
need your opinion on this piece please. price i got this is not sale price.

I have move him into my guppy tank to quarantine, as I'm worried my arowana might take a biteas he doesn't seem to be swimming much.

should i try to take him back to the lfs? or try to treat him?
 
After watching the video I'd say its a good thing you moved him. The aro was definitely eyeing him up.

Have you tried offering any live feeders?

btw what would be the most irresistable food for a datnoid? I'll try to see if i can get him to eat, so far the 3 pregnant guppies are still in the tank .
 
Yeah he is very thin and his stomach is sunken in. You did the right thing by moving him in small quarantine tank. I would add some aquarium salt and the best thing to feed them now is live food. A bunch of guppies or small minnows would be your best bet for getting it to eat. He looks pretty frail, I hope he pulls through.

thanks, he's currently in my fancy guppy tank, if by next week my guppies are still there, I'll bring him back to the lfs.
I'm currently treating him for internal parasites. will add more guppies, ormaybe some mollis for him.
 
Damn,looks like that aro could eat him without trying too hard,good you got him out of there....ultimatejay is on point and if you can get mollies I'd skip right to them over the guppies.The NGT looks badly sunken in and needs to be fattened up.
