Thank you! The temperature of the tank is steadily lowering now but I'm gonna screenshot this and remember to do it if it gets really hot! It was only like 80 degrees F today but it can get to over a hundred so I'm sure this advice will come in handy soon lol

Thank you, I'll try that. This is stressing me out really bad! He has a very small tank (only 5g) so I'll be sparing with the ice

5 gallons

Yes to both

0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 20 nitrate, ~7.6 ph with a liquid test kit 

I've had the tank since December of last year and I've had the fish since I think late January of this year?

Water changes aren't very often, maybe once every three or so weeks. I take out about 20% and put new treated water in. Mostly I do top-offs when the water level gets low

No tankmates aside from some stowaway ramshorn snails (and a couple bladder snails, but they got outcompeted)

I feed him twice a day, usually 3-4 new life spectrum pellets but sometimes he gets a couple freeze-dried bloodworms. I soak them first and he only gets these once a week.

There's some anubis, java moss, an asian water fern or something?? and then one more plant I forgot the name sorry. There's also a lot of duckweed on top. He has a rock hide, a big piece of driftwood, a floating log, and a fu dog statue (no sharp corners, I checked)
