Hi, I got two new ADFs a few days ago. On day two I noticed that one was upside down on the bottom swimming in circles. I noticed he (assuming it's a he??) had a very swollen leg and figured he would struggle swimming up to the surface so put him in a floating breeding box near the top of the tank so he could at least get up for air! I'm hand feeding him bloodworms when I can, but he seems pretty reluctant, often spitting worms out after swallowing them. If I flip him over he'll stay the right way up and move around a little bit, but if he does flip over then he can't get back over without help.
I've attached pictures of the leg from various angles - any ideas on what this might be and if there's any treatment?
The other ADF is perfectly fine and water parameters are as expected.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
