    Thank you very much for your quick reply.
    I have an appointment to take him to the vet, but will leave him alone until then.
    I have since noticed what appear to be some tiny pieces of skin hanging off him.
    As to him panicking, I don't think he was. His movements when he is frightened are much more desperate and he swims frantically and quickly. There is a marked difference between his singing and dancing. He is slow and repetitious.
    The chemistry is probably be what is getting to him. Thank you and I will keep the thread updated.

    Admittedly I did not cycle very well. I let the water sit for 24 hours and treated it with baking soda to raise the PH but I changed the water all at once.
    No cleaning agents were used except for hot water and a scrubby.
    Thank you for your condolences.

    If it wasn't the problem an uncycled tank not good for these guys# they don't take well to chlorine & heavy metals which are found in tap water in enough concentrations to cause issues# that's why water conditioner are crucial then tank should be cycled about 2 weeks # even 25% weeklycwater changes same applies to add conditioner and preferably not add the new water for 8 hours
