Been really busy so haven't seen the tank in 3 days. Today i went in, the 5" catfish was listing a little bit. Saw how sunken the belly (looked emaciated not the belly the whole fish, which is wierd because the last feeding was 4 days ago?) was so fed it 2 small nightcrawlers. It went around immediately, and ate em. Thought everything was okay, and tonight it is listing really bad, and looks like it is going to die. I don't have a test kit with me and all the shops are closed now. I did do a 30% change in case there are any water problems; probably too late though.



curious, it did eat a pleco a couple weeks ago about half its length, and i fed it 3 feeders also a couple weeks ago, could it be parasites?

The pleco currently with it is usually pale/translucent, but is now looking like a normal pleco.

Any guesses want to be thrown out?
