Thank you for the welcome Delpinus!
ooooo bad silverside huh? i bought some and had it shipped here from Van, the pet store here doesnt carry it.. of course upon arrival it was thawed, it was covered in freezer packs and still chilled. My first instinct was to throw it out as there are many foods for human consumption that cannot be frozen, thawed, and then frozen again. i will have to do some more research to find out what else i can feed him untill we go to edmonton to try to pick up some more silverside. i was feeding brine and mysis before buying the silverside.

He seems to be doing better this morning, he's moved over just a few inches to another spot, but his foot is still not burried.
Thank you for your help!

too, I see that alot in the store.

What is the flow like and lighting in the tank. Most carpets like high flow and lighting, especially red & blues.

My carpet is doing really well this morning, which leads me to believe he was just trying to move, once the new camera is here i will post another picture of how he looks today

is the lighting and flow okay?

You have more than enough to keep one, so you are good there. I think it was just moving to another spot. As it looks like it is not spewing anything from the mouth. That would be a cause for concern.

It probably is moving and it's a little too heavy too move itself so it needs too flip over to help itself!
