hello,

I bought a 5 inch jardini about 2 weeks ago from the fish store. he is not eating anything i feed him (frozen blood worms, hikari pellets, dried krill) and is staying at the bottom of the tank. occasionally he'll come out of corner but hides every time he sees me. now he just sits on the bottom and seems to be breathing heavier than usual. what is wrong with him??
also when i bought him he was missing his whiskers but now they are slowly growing back would that have affected anything?
 
Yeah, most important is check you water. Amonia should be 0, nitrite 0, nitrAte should be less then 15ppm an the temp should be around 82F. Has he got any tankmates?
 
he has 4 angels with him, but they are doing fine and the water is fine, i did a 20 percent water change couple days ago
