    What is in the tank with him? Fish tend to dull due to a variety of reasons...of these, nutritional lacking, stress, disease, and so on. If your fish had cloudy eye issues, this is probably the cause for the dullness. You may go into the disease thread and present it to those folks.

    Snails taking over...

    Too many snails are not a good thing...they will quickly eat themselves out of food, then die. The ones that will die will decompose...some you wont find and you will have amonia, and so on.
