He was the coolest because he had half his face bitten off in the tank in the shop. He was in the first batch of neon tetras I got and he's always been a survivor. He had already been through one ich infestion and treatment. I've always made sure he eats, since he only has one eye, he had a hard time sometimes. I named him "Hope" because of the FFXIII character, and because, well, he survives.
But today he started floating up toward the surface. I was worried at first, but as the day progressed he seemed to fall into my suspicions. Now he's just up there, twirling around in the corner. Spinning.
I can't tell if his one eye is bloated or not.
I'm not sure if I should kill him or not. Is he suffering? Should I euthanize him? Or is he fighting to live? Will he be ok if I just leave him alone?
I really want him to live.
Currently my tank is going through treatment for ich. Just the same as last time. Hopefully this will be the last. All my Neons are doing fine, as is my cardinal. The temperature is 86º, Ive been doing frequent water changes, but stopped putting in salt. Today I put in the salt I took out, just in case it helps him breathe more easily. I'm not sure if it was for nothing.. I put in an airstone a while ago, he's still the same.
He seems to have some white spots, but they are a few, he didn't have them before. HIs eye is bloated but I'm not sure. He also seems bigger than before, for some reason. Not bloated, just bigger.
