Is there any other unusual activity/symptoms? He won't bask. Buddy holds onto the basking area with his front legs and hangs from it or sometimes he'll just lay at the bottom of the tank and just come up for air.

Today Buddy was swimming against the glass, so I gave him a pellet to see if he'd eat it. He ate it, but when i gave him a few more he didn't eat them. He still wont bask and like every 10 minutes he makes this weird sound that almost sounds like he's blowing bubbles in the water.

how is his swimming patterns? is he swimming lopsided (on one side)? is he swimming in circles? try soaking the pellet in tuna juice and see if he eats it. the bubbles, where does it come from, his nose or his mouth?

When he swims, it looks normal. I didn't really see any bubbles, I was in the other room when I heard him do it. He stopped making the noise now. He's finally started basking again, but he won't eat. I haven't tried soaking a pellet in tuna juice yet, though.
