Well he did eat a few flakes yesterday for the first time I noticed.. The day before I put a bit of bloodworm he wasn't interested at all...
So most people think all that ammo stuff isn't going to fix my tank in the long run

You didn't mention the ammonia level...
 
I mentioned it in earlier message sorry
It 0.25 - 0.50 between that...

Well when he come out of the corner for about 30 seconds no fish go near him...
 
Maybe he was just from a poor batch. :rip: perhaps he was being harassed by the other fish. It doesn't matter anyway I guess...
 
Really sad to hear that. Did you test the water after you found him to make sure you haven't got an ammonia spike?
 
Sorry for your loss.

A 50% water change is generally recommended after a death, because even if there isn't an ammonia spike that causes the death, the death can cause an ammonia spike (although that does take a bit of time).
 
 
More than likely, since it never acted normal in your tank, and the other fish are all fine the problem with this fish was probably not related to your tank, but instead specific to that fish.  It happens, sometimes.  I think everyone in the hobby has bought a fish that just refused to live in your tank, regardless of anything that you do for it.
 
Yeah I tested the water still the same
Ph 7.4
Ammonia 0.25
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20 ppm

Doing a water change now...
