Sebae Dying

Sebae dying. Quick tests of ammonia and nitrites still show zero, also concurred to by the Seachem Ammonia Alert indicator. However the poor guy looks like a goner if you ask me.

Take it out now or wait?

I would wait, but keep a very close eye on him. I've seen them come back from worse.

Concur with waiting.

Oh, and so you know the background. That one is a recent acquisition from the LFS where it was bleached in the first place. Been nine days, and so far he's only gone downhill to this level.

Wait.

I just lost a sebae. I was told I wasn't ready but I didn't listen. One of those impulse buys. I couldn't get it to eat. I tried pieces of fish and gently squeezing brine shrimp into it from an eyedropper. It was advertised as a tan one and I didn't think it could have been some what bleached.

Good luck!

I would be even more inclined to wait considering this info - moving is stressful.

Left it in tank for the night. Will check on the condition in the morning. Think I should try and feed it a little assuming it isn't dead by tomorrow evening?
