    I'm wondering if he wasn't very healthy to start with, since his color was so pale and everything. Is he being picked on while he lays there?

    The fish are leaving him alone while he's laying in the sand. And I think your right about him being sick already when I bought him

    I really hope he pulls through. Just keep trying to get food into him. I'm hoping for the best!!

    he was getting worse, he changed colors, to like when they are stressed, i thought he was dead because i didnt see him breathing at all and he wasnt moving so i took a net in to try to get him out then he did move, but didnt really swim, he basically scooted to the back of the tank, now i dont know where he is.

    i really dont think he's going to make it through the night

    yea, thankfully he was only $35 but still i liked him do he was doing sooo good the first few days, but i guess this would explain why he looked completly different from all of the other midas'
