Lethargic and swimming problems

[Krys]

He seemed a bit more active today, but he's still sitting on the bottom and very pale.

As for Wardley pellets, I've used this brand for years with no issues. but i also have Atlantis brand pellets.

and yeah, the tetra ones turn off cause they heat to the temperature, then shut off so they don't over heat the water, and when the temperature drops like 1 or 2* it turns back on and heats it back up. I've watched the thermometers and they never show a difference in the temperature, so... meh -shrug-

Keeps them warm, that I ask of them.

Wardly are very low quality. That's because they're full of wheat and other fillers, and chemicals, with very low quality protein content. Sorry.

Pellets should have the first two or three ingredients as whole fish, not fish meal (fish byproducts.. think McDonald's Chicken Nuggets) or wheat being the worst.

I'm sad to report that Toga has passed away. My roommate found him upside on the bottom of his tank yesterday, and when I looked, I noticed his gills were no longer pumping.

I still don't exactly know what he caught, he didn't respond to treatment.

Thanks for the help and support though, guys. <3

RIP Toga.
