Except that he was bad in English and I was bad in Chinese. Nonetheless I showed him the pictures of my sick fish only for him to tell me that he honestly wasn't certain about the exact illness and so recommended me an all-in-one herbal cure made in our very own Singapore.
So for the past week I've been diligently dripping the medicine onto my poor fish, who strangely didn't even notice me dripping the medicine until lately.
I took him out from his purple box and into a plastic bowl so as to disinfect his box and change the water.
If you can see the white pin spots on his body.
The good news is after a week of diligent water changing (every three days - cos I couldn't stand the gunk lying at the bottom) and dripping medicine on my pet (a drop every two days - cos he looked miserable), Rippy is back to his hungry inquisitive self and making happy bubbles. He's still a little shy at his reflection though... preferring to run away than to flare up a challenge. Hopefully, he'll be back to his old self again.
