    Alright. Well mines is pretty bad, cause it hasn't been eating for a while now and it swims on the bottom of the tank all the time. Its weird how one of them is normal and the other one is just sick.

    Give it a try and come back to this thread and let us know how he is doing. Remember, this might NOT work......but it is always better to try than to do nothing.

    Poor lil guy. Hope our advice helps out. If you can grab a jar of garlic tomorrow, please try this right away. Let us know if he eats or not.

    Do not take him out of the tank. That will only stress him out and make him very very ill. You can feed them all at once, but just watch them and make sure he gets some too.

    At this point, trying to remove the fish from the tank would stress it even more. Leave it in the tank.

    How about the freshwater dip? Would that kill the disease of whatever it haves?

    Unless you really know what you're doing, you will most definitely kill the fish if you attempt this.
    A lot of people disagree with doing this at all because of the amount of stress it puts the fish under.
