Good Luck.

Ya, I hope he makes it but it doesn't look good. I just got back with the meds and did a 50% water change and then added it in. I'm also trying to feed him some peas (not the casing of course). My girlfriends trying to hand feed him right now while I type We'll see how it goes I guess.

How is he.

How is he.

Unfortunately, when I woke up this morning he was dead. Hopefully he's in a better place now. I just too him outside and buried the little guy. Thanks for all of the advice

I went to the pet store today and bought a few more variety foods. Picked up some frozen Spurlina Brine Shrimp along with some Hikari Trpical micro pellets. I also picked up a cucumber. Do you happen to know if I should soak the micro pellets in the water before feeding? Have read sometimes fish chocke on them?

Bless Him R.I.P.
Yes always soak the pellets first till there soft.

I soaked the pellets tonight before feeding and when I put them in, they just sank to the bottom and the fish had a hard time getting to them before they went into the gravel lol. These are micro pellets so any suggestions and how many pellets I should be feeding them and shouldn't they float for a while?

Just make sure the pellet soak a few seconds before the fish have them.
