It could be internal. How did he look at the LFS? Did you see him eat before you bought him?

Can you post a picture by chance?
I don't think you need to continue with water changes with the reading you have. It sounds like this fish just did not ship real well. How was the box when you got it, temp. wise?

I have been told that if a flame lasts 3 days from the time you get him, it should be OK. Hope yours comes around. Could be stress from shipment, etc.
