Hi again!
My RES eyes are now not swollen anymore, and it can open its eyes already. He can swim like usual.. But he just doesn't want to eat anything.. Is it okay already to put him up together with my other RES?? This not-eating condition, can it because of he doesn't see that female RES that usually with him? And his skin still shed badly..

I really wish to see him eat again. I tried to feed him shrimp, but it doesn't work.. I don't know what to do. I put him in another container. And he is alone in there. I am afraid, if he is not healthy enough to be put together again, and the healthy RES might eat all the food I fed him.

Help please.. :(

How long has it been since he has eaten?

Try soaking some pellets in tuna water. You can also try live prey, like feeder fish (guppies, rosy red minnows) and earthworms.

Shedding skin will look thin and wispy in water and very hart to see when out of water. That is normal.
