    Thanks. I am going to keep feeding it, including alternating between soaking in garlic and Selcon, and start a 1 week long Prazipro treatment. Hoping he can pull through!

    Well I started the Prazipro as mentioned and after 24 hours he certainly has perked right up. Eating very well and has been active as well. Hoping he will make a recovery. Here are a couple pics from last night:

    Cheryl, here are a couple pics from last night. I am apparently not very good at spotting a pinched abdomen. Do you think he looks any better?

    He has been VERY active, swimming right up to the glass every time I go in the room. From what I can tell, he has also been eating well during feedings.

    10 day update

    After 6 days of the Prazipro treatment, I changed 25% water and turned the skimmer and carbon back on (replaced the carbon, and also emptied the skimmer before turning back on). He is eating voraciously, and very very active. Here are a couple pics from today:

    It looks to me like he is filling out and plumbing up, but I would appreciate a second opinion :)
