That sounds like a really good plan @najer . I can’t really see how his skin issues are doing in the bucket. He seemed really stressed yesterday with the move and all. Today he seems to be back to his inquisitive self (without appetite) And swimming well so I think I’m gonna leave him in bucket today and get him over there tomorrow. I’ll get tank ready for him today though.
Good point. I’ll put some stuff in the tank along with that rock so he can hide.
Day 12 Update
little guy is now in the 10 gallon nano. Thanks @najer .
I can definitely see him better through glass, and I hope he is less stressed. the stuff on his scales is still there but not quite as bad. I pre dosed the tank with General Cure to match the bucket water.
He ate 2 blackworms gut loaded with beta glucan (thanks @Big G ) last night and one this morning. He normally eats as many as I put in.
He is swimming normally, no hiding, and comes over to me anytime I’m near the tank.
Glad to see him doing better! This thread is a great learning experience on how to passionately work to save a fish. Lots of great advice to file away for later.Day 12 Update

He certainly is! I don’t think I have ever seen a fish fight so hard to recover. I swear early on he was doing Physical Therapy practicing swimming through plumbing parts. Granted it started sideways swimming about 5 days in, but in 2 days he was upright. And it’s weird because he never swam through them before that.He looks like a fighter.
