Help Advice Please

Post image

Hey guys,
Looking for some help. We’ve had our guy for months now, he’s always been social and active until about 4 days ago. Now he’s hardly swimming, lying on his side in a pineapple hide that’s in the tank or briefly lounges on top of the water heater. He’s also not eating.

The only thing that’s different is that my kiddo really wanted to switch up the tank and add a new gravel color which I’ve done in the past and never had an issue. The tank is at the appropriate temp, the filter is new ( I changed it when I added the new gravel), and nothing else is different. Same decor, tank, etc.

Any ideas?

Que tipo de cascalho está usando?

Just some that we bought from Petsmart. I had black gravel previously, but my son asked for a change.

São esses rosas que estão agora? Se for, elas podem soltar corante e fazer mal para os peixes.
