    First, I am glad your fish is doing better.

    Ground the tank as all tanks should be grounded – it plugs into the wall and grounds the tank using your homes ground. Get that other test kit and make sure your ammonia is zero. Other than that keep a watchful eye on everyone and take note of any bullying.

    Additionally I would suggest you get some med’s for your tank “just in case” - I always keep some Maracyn II on hand. If you notice the fish develops labored breather, scratching or cloudy eyes than you might be facing a bacterial infection probably brought on by stress. You will want to be prepared – but aside from that it sounds like your fish is doing much better and all is well. Good luck.

    He got worse again and then he died :(

    Still no explanation as to what happened! Other fish are still fine! So its a mystery.

    Thanks for everyones help though.
