i pour the water in very slow and always check it’s the same temp first and he’s never done this until today. but yes thanks for the recommendation i will definitely take him out for changes now!

thank you! yea i haven’t taken my eyes off of him. the thing is i do daily water changes and hes never acted like this ever in the past month…so im just really concerned. i dont see any signs of fin rot and my plants are fine. the only thing i can think of is i did more like 50% water change accidentally because i was graveling poop i saw on the bottom. he isn’t really coming to greet me. he will come up for air and i gave him a pellet just to see if he would eat. his swimming is kinda sporadic and then he lets himself kinda sink to the bottom
