Hey guys, not sure if this has been discussed or not but I just wanted to ask anyways…
Bought this firefish 10 days ago… stupidly didn’t QT, which I regret. Acclimation went well no stress there. Was eating fine and burrowing under live rock. All was well.
Went to do my evening feeding and he was in the corner right in front of the entrance to his tunnel on his side, breathing heavily.. tried to get him to move around and he jumped right up and went into his cave upright.
From what I understand a fish on its side almost always means it’s going to die… can I save it ?
I have two clowns in QT at the moment… due to a lot of circumstances I really can’t add him in and reset the clock on the clowns if it’s ich/disease.. been battling ammonia and resetting the clock might be fatal for everyone..is this almost certainly disease? Will I need to let my tank go fallow for 6 weeks? Any insight or tips are greatly appreciated.. I really wanna save this guy
