    I bought two Cardinals yesterday from my LFS. One is doing fine, one was floating around with the current today when I woke up. I put him in a QT by himself with a heater and some o2, but he's still lying there, breathing heavy and doing not much else. I'm hoping it is stress and he pulls through. Any ideas?

    If he's stressed out, turn off the lights, but the heavy breathing doesnt sound good. Was he swimming around when you bought him? Luna

    Looks like its over anyway... He was swimming when I first got him in the tank, and even ate a little. I feel bad now for the other one because I think they were partners.
