I had to abbreviate the QT on mine. QT was extremely stressful for him. I don't know if QTing yours would have given him any greater a chance. I'm skeptical that it would have.

It's so hard watching a fish suffer. The best thing for him was to stay at the store and fatten up. I think now the shipment had just come in within days and these guys needed more time.

Hopefully he'll come around.

Do you have any algae covered frags of rock that you can place in the acclimation tank?

Sometimes fish are sold too soon,
I really hope yours does well for you.If you are curious about what to do with a too far gone fish this method has worked in the past with both fresh and salt water fish.

I find if my fish are sick (I've had them come in with velvet,severe pop eye, one fish beat the daylights out of another beyond help) this method works for us.

Thanks Aysha,

Those articles are fantastic, I've printed and will keep on hand for future use. I don't expect him to be alive when I get home, depending on what he's doing if he is still alive, I may use one of these methods.

I should have known better and waited.

Shelley - I will throw in a rock if he's still alive but I really don't think there's much hope for him.
