Yes. fish is still alive. Last night at feeding time I fed the usual tetramin flakes and noticed this fish wouldn't touch it. Tonight, I decided to try some frozen mosquito larvae that I feed as an occasional treat. I watched this fish carelfully and saw him eat at least 3 or 4 pieces, which of course makes me wonder if it could possibly have been rejecting the regular offerings. I never thought this was possible with fish. I'm going to try the mosquito larvae on a more regular basis and see if I notice any improvement on the caved stomach. Would there be any harm in feeding this 3 or 4 times weekly? (in addition to regular flakes).
