Thank you,Pufferpunk,for your help, but he didn't make it.He recovered from nitrite poison quite well, wich I think was an issue in the first place. But this digestive system problem really got him. He didn't ate at all for the last week or more. His anus was swollen and fins started to look nipped....

Hello, a little update on my situation. I keep my watter as ideal as possible. Ammonia-0. Nitrite-0. Nitrate~10. The GSP is still not active, but alive.

Yeah...that's totally my fault. Is there any chance that he will be ok?
