    So bad news. The little guy in the pic didn't make it I think. He was floating last night but clearly alive. This morning he is bloated and not responding The other is doing well. To be honest I was a little worried about the one who died as he was a lot less active than the other and I never saw him eat. So I'm hoping no issues with the survivor.

    Correction he did just respond to a light tap on the glass. Very sluggish and bloated. Anything I should do?
