is he still eating? or has he stopped? how much AQ salt are you using per gal?

you said it's 78* but there's no heater?

and i would do one more water change a week if not 3 in all. 50% and 100% for a 2 gal.

He eats one bite then stops. Just a pinch of AQ salt. My room is very warm so theres no need for a heater. I've always done 100% water changes, so thats not the problem.
