and ph tests and all are fine?

What are the ammonia & nitrate readings?

Sunken belly could be due to wasting, which i have never cured.

Hi Jaime,

Is he eating enough? Is there another fish in the tank that's bullying him and keeping him from getting everything he needs? Tatty fins don't normally accompany wasting, at least not until later stages. Another possibility may be that he needs worming.

Just thoughts. I certainly hope everyone's info has helped and there'll probably be more info to come from other members too I'd say.

All the best

Cafa

Thanks caffa. yeah he seems to be getting enough food and no sign of bullying! Water test show all is spot on. He has regained a little weight. Cross my fingers I suppose. Thanks for your input.
