Hey guys!

Im A little worried about my new BN who I have only had for about a week and a half I think!

Hes been fine until then, no white trailing poops, no signs of anything!

I have another BN in the tank that is roughly the same size (both just smaller then 2inchs)

There usually really skitish and swim away when I get close, but today i got up and he was just sitting in a really weird position at the front of the tank!

I put my net in and touched him and he didnt move, he is moving his mouth etc and moving tiny amounts!

The other is fine!

Im just pretty worried as these are my favourite fish and Ive waited soo long to get them!

The tank is 60cmx 30cm x 30cm

Other tank mates include... 3 juvi pandas, 2 juvi peppered and 2 juvi albino bronzed (all under 1 inch)

And 3 large adult peppered cories!

It is filter by a fluval 2+ and the outlet is set about 2 inch above water level for oxygenation!

Water temp is 25C

I have also upped the water changes from once or twice a week to a small one every other day and a larger one at the weekend!

Thanks in advance...

(I tried to include as much info as possible to help lol)
 
Nevermind guys!

I think hes gonna die soon!

Hes just moving his mouth and I can pretty much push him along with my net in the sand!

Hes very rigid and stuff! :(

So sorry to hear that. I wish there was something I could say to help.

Its all right Madam Macaw :)

Some things just cant be helped!

Now that I can sit and look at him well as hes not moving!

he is actually really skinny!

I put a slice of Zuccini in at lights out and leave until next morning!

I feed Catfish pellets in the morning for my Cories and im sure he would pick up a few of those now and then!

I also feed bloodworm cubes one or twice a week!

Anyone have any ideas what could be/Could have been wrong with him?
