Well, how is he doing today? I'd keep him warmer than 81 maybe up to 84 if you can keep it stable and bring it up slow.
Well, he's not doing so well....I see him swimming on the middle, bottom and top of the tank. Very unusual behaviar.....I took out the guppy and feed it to my oscars and think that the opae shrimp just died. I put some brine shrimp in the tank, I'm not sure but I think that he might have nibbled at it. He would swim up to it and make small mouth movements but cant tell.
But he's still fighting....I did a 50 percent water change. Maybe, he'll get hungry tomarrow. I got my fingers crossed.

Man, this is going on for a long time, I'm still pulling for him!! At least he's showing interest, that's a good sign. Try and watch and see if he poops. Then you can eliminate blockage and/or tell if he's eating at all. She.

I really dont think it's blockage, only because I make sure that the food are prepared small enough or even crushed before I feed the little guy.Thanks for the thought though Mei. Today he's swimming in the middle of the tank, not sure what's going on with him. I just put food in there walk away for a while and hope for the best.
Well, today I treated the tank for internal parasite's just in case this was the problem. He's still kinda swimming in the middle of the tank but seems to be doing better then yesterday. When I walk up to the tank he starts to swim to the top and watches me. I think he could have an internal parasite and thats why he's not feeling so well, how? I'm not sure....just trying everything I can to save the little dude. This was suggested by the owner of the fish store, who is also a friend of mine....so, hopefully soon....I'll have my little guy back and felling better again!
