I think Ghost is on his way out 😢. He’s been floating more and more vertically these past few days. Earlier tonight he was basically drifting in the weak flow. When I dropped in pellets he just hung there beside them and then I realised there were still bloodworms on the substrate from last night. Went through just now and he on the substrate. Still breathing but it’s not just him resting. I just wish I knew what he’d needed or even if there was more I could have done. I’m sad for him but also me and I have no clue how my boy is going to cope.

I think he’s gone, I just can’t confirm until my boy is at school. He’s moved to a different bit of substrate overnight and there was a definite wiggle when I raised the kitchen blind but now I can’t see his gills...but even if he is now, he’s not coming back and I’ll ease him out if I get the chance. Not nice 😢
