the ph is at 8.0 now.

still not eating

Give him time, they can go quite some time w/o food. He has to adjust to the pH changes.

i had to flush him last night. he was swimming into the walls of the tank. bumping into all the decor and found him stuck by the tail on the filter in let.

is it safe if i buy another gsp and alcaimate him in to the tank?

Do a large water cahnge and it should be.

You flushed a live fish?

That was my next question....

no he was dead stuck on the intake of the filter.

this hobby is really frustrating me.

You're gotta find out why your pH dropped like that.

so i bought another gsp.

have you ever seen one that was more white than green in the middle?

and he has white scabs.

please tell me he is just stressed

Do you have pictures?

ill take some right now

Ok.

and all the gray was white when i picked me up.

I can't see the scab thing too well but the color change is most likely from being in a new enviroment. He might just be freaking out right now. Did you notice these when you purchased him? Did you get him from a LFS or online? Has he eaten yet since you got him home?

the white scab is the one in front of his lower fin
