what are the tanks readings? Is it heated? I wouldn't move it just yet it may cause more stress. Does he eat at all?Does he swim funny? Has he swam at all through out the day?

Dont have any test kits. Did a full water change last night to see if it helped. He eats like a pig, he had 3 pellets last night. He doesnt swim funny, yes he swam some, than sat on the bottom some too. Yes hes in a kritter keepr. Plans to get tanks soon
UPDATE hes alittle more active today.

Okay, well you said he has no physical changes so I'm good, try to feed him something else like a boiled pea thats been skinned, it may be constipation, after feeding him the pea, do something thats really hard to do, don't feed him for two days  Its hard for me too but it will purge his system a bit and he may get better. |

hes definatly better, he likes his tank, but im worried about putting lillian on the other side of cody. Im afraid hell get over on lillians side through the small gap on the sides

Cody is one of THE MOST aggressive males i have ever seen. I divided the tank with skyler too. There is no gap *knock on wood* because i made the dividers, and they seem fine. Skyler is very laid back and calm, and never flares at cody when cody flares at him, and skyler runs away, and cody has stopped flaring at him. I think they are pretty used to each other now
