Not great, but he ate garlic-soaked micropellets just fine, is alert again and actually looks at me.
I don't know if going through a full thirty-day treatment of kanaplex again would help any. Did I not really get rid of all the gill flukes I suspected? Does he have a lingering virus? or just feel unwell after eating too many snails? I don't know. Think I have to accept the fact that he's just chronically ill, will have good days and bad days. I can't keep stressing and worrying over treating him. Who knows what he's harboring after having lived in the LFS tank for so long . . .
Yesterday I re-homed half my remaining young while clouds. Kept eight, which joining the adults in the window tank, will make a school of eleven. Soon. A bit more growing to do. I crushed some shrimp pellet to feed them last night. And my smallest white cloud took the biggest bite. This one is a third smaller than the others, but has great color so I'd hate to loose him. Now it looks like his mouth is jammed stuck open.
I thought given a bit of time, the food bit might soften and he'd be able to spit it out or swallow it.
But it's been all night and half the day now, still stuck:
