Just got this bad boy yesterday as soon as he got to my LFS. I haven't had any problems with fish here before and for this store, he's a rare find.

I put him in my 20L yesterday and had to go to work. He didn't move much from his corner.

Fast forward to 4 am today when I get up for work and he's completely upside down sucking on water by a rock.

Just went home from lunch and he's upside down still sucking on nothing and in the middle of my tank now.

My water was fine the last time I checked it and all my other fish are healthy and moving.

I did something some people would frown upon and moved him to my 10g that has been running for a long time now. He started to show better signs of life but his body is stiff but he's still alive.

Help please.

My water is usually a little more hard than most tap waters but I double dose the conditioner when doing weekly water changes. The pH usually hovers around 7, give or take

He died while I was at work.
