I do remember that once, when we put a small mirror in front of the bowl, he kept darting to the opposite side and looking away till we removed it. Needless to say, we threw the tank out. I’m sending a few pictures of my fish (Pepper). From this morning, he has been remaining at the surface mostly, but he starts moving around a little when we play music. Otherwise, he remains still or moves backwards around the bowl slowly. He’s stopped begging for food, and has hardly even touched the peas we gave him. He only pooped once this morning – it was just a thin trailing transparent line. Do you think we should start feeding him his flakes again? How do I check if his eyes are protruding?
