Hi, this is Mayo. He has been with me since October 2023, I think it was three months ago that I started to see that he was missing his food like he couldn't really see how far the food really was and missed a lot trying to catch it, I tried to feed him worms but he didn't really liked them. Today, I was cleaning a little bit of algae in the tank and I saw what I believe its pineconing symptoms. I think Mayo is old and hasn't been able to eat this last days, I wonder if I should euthanize him or not… it would be my first so I'm a little scared/sad and yet need to find clove oil somewhere since Amazon would take like a week to arrive here

That is definitely pineconing I’m sorry to say :cc try doing Epsom Salt baths and add tannins (I like Indian Almond Leaves) and as for the food try feeding your dude brine shrimp and daphnia with tweezers and put them right up to his mouth.
