Thanks for all the advice - After 3 weeks of not eating - at least I sure didn't see him eat - he's back to eating and teasing for food all the time. He's going after the krill like he'd never seen them before and a few days ago he wouldn't even look at them! I am going to be sure to try to...

There is no aquarium except in Chicago or St. Louis which are both about 3 hours away. So, I'm out of luck there. My husband and I did try to hold the fish and open his mouth. Of course he "puffed" up but didn't seem to upset about the whole thing. Unfortunately, we couldn't see anything in...
