last night after trimming some of my plants i noticed one of my cardinals was missing... 5 were swimming around happily but the 6th was nowhere to be seen. after searching for 15 minutes i finally found him in the back just sort of sitting there. i actually thought her was dead until i went to get him out and he moved. it was really late at night so i went to bed and now this morning the fish is still just sitting there, his colour is all faded.

what should i do?

incidentally, since i got these cardinals about a week ago there always seems to be one that is swimming separately from the group. of course i have no way to know if it's the same one but it makes me suspicious that it has been this sick one. :(

**UPDATE**

well i take it back. the 6th fish seems to be feeling better and has joined the others. maybe it was the 24 hour flu. ;)
