Luckily I did a large water change and added some plants, and it seems to have helped a lot! It is still laying about all the time, though, but I am not sure how active it's supposed to be. It is still the same size, but more 'frog-shaped', rather than a balloon. I think it may have parasites though, it's poop is clear and 'stringy'. I have not fed the peas or lettuce since my previous post. I will upload pictures of the tad as soon as possible but I can't guarantee good quality. I am also going to test for parasite eggs once I find my microscope.
