Really great news. I am really glad that he recovered, hopefully completely . This is one strange case. I did not have anything to added so I did not post.
Now you can get him into your 300 DT.

I named my spotted ringo. 3 days later he was dead on the sand bead like he had just passed. Clear eyes and a mucus coat when I was waking him... then pulled and found he passed just b4 me waking. So my naming fish has gone 2 simple she or he. People say when u name ur fish odd things happen and was my 1st named. I’m sorry he looks happy tho I have mine 8 months

haha my thoughts exactly i have not named fish since i was a kid (20 years ago)

as soon an I would name a fish it would die almost instantly...

Thanks! It really has been odd, and he just keeps improving. I knew I was in trouble when I stumped Humblefish. I have been wondering if he didn't get into one of my maxi minis?
I have seen you post a lot about mandarins, I read everything I can find about keeping them.
I just got word today that my tank is coming this week! I can't wait to get things going with that!

Awesome to hear he is doing well.

I find that if I don’t name the fish in the first two week later or so they struggle with something. If I name them within the two weeks the seem to survive anything. Totally anecdotal but interesting.
