Schism
Aquarium Advice Addict
Ok got this Tomato Clown about 2 weeks ago. He has done great in my 20 long since but the past few days ive noticed him chilling out in the rockwork. Then today when i got home i seen rapid breathing and he is leaning against a rock. He looks like hes stuggling. Ive never had many sick fish and am unsure what could be the problem. Water is testing fine.
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate <5ppm
Ph 8.1
Salinity 1.026 (35ppt)
Temp 79F
Other fish in tank include 6-line and gramma. Both are eating and perfectly fine. Tomato is not going for food. I see no discoloration, no cuts, wounds, spots, mucous or anything abnormal from outside appearance.
Any help on what could be happening would be greatly appreciated as i really have no clue.
Only thing done recently is a water change a few days ago. See no ich and have never had a problem with ich so im ruling it out right away. Pics attached, but hard to get a full shot and both sides but here is what i got.
