Hi!
I would put him in a hospital tank with a heater and see if the heat perks
him up.
Another thing i would dois add 1/8 tablespoon of epsom salts (not naCl)
per 5 gallons. I did that with my fish that was floating.

I have heard of using a needless siringe (sp?) filled with mushed up peas.
They put the tip of the siringe into the fishs' mouth past the gills and
slowly inject....can be messy.

To tell if your fish is off food, put some chopped up coctail prawns
(shrimp) near him. If the fish eats, then the problem is less serious. A
constipated fish does get turned off food.
HTH

Thanks for that.

What temperature would you recommend the water be put at?
