But there's no guarantee on the diagnosis, seeing as how so little information was left on the fish and the tank it's in. ![]() I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

Would you be able to post your water conditions, e.g. ph, nitrite, ammonia, nitrate readings, temperature and any other tests you can get. If you dont have a test kit for these things you could go to the LFS and get them to test your water parameters. Without that information it will be really hard for other members to help you out. Oh I just noticed you've posted a picture below ... it doesn't appear on the actual post tho? Cheers - Crusha ![]() ![]() |

He still swims around, eats and acts totally normal... No sign of being sluggish, scraping his body around the tank or anything.....Any advice? ![]() If it holds water and it's glass I want it! |
