if he is to sick to swim he is a gonner

He swims fine but we just can figure out why he was stuck. I have him in a 10 Gallon QT and he swimming just fine. Feeding him flake and mysis with melafix doses once a day and he seem like he is on the road to recovery. He took a little damage to his body. Just some discoloration where it seems he lost some scales due to being stuck and a little popeye.

If he has popeye it is quite possible he has an internal bacterial or fungal infection. I would give him a broad range treatment as these types of infections makes fish very weak. Make sure to feed him frequently and keep an eye on the ammonia level of the 10g QT. Foxfaces are odd in that they do sometimes stress themselves out so much they will actually "faint." I don't know the cause of this or why but I have seen it many times in severely stressed Foxfaces.
