Have you checked water stats.
Does he look bloated, pale, darker in colour, resting to oneside, can he maintain balance.

 

[wilsonnw8]

is he swollen? did anything change when you were away?

 

[E3ramirez]

Feed him some boiled shelled pea and give him some general meds like diluted blue (formaldahyde) make sure your water stats are ok and that his temp is around 27 if he doesnt have a filter did the person caring for him do water changes? if not the amonia may be peaking causing illness

How is your little guy doing E3ramirez?

 

[E3ramirez]

thank for your help

no worries glad he's on the mend

 

[WILDER]

Best to feed peas twice a week.
Glad he back to his normal self.

Is he still doing good?

I hope the little guy is better now. When I go away I clean all mine out and leave them without food. They are always pleased to see me when I come home
