My other goby's gills don't look like this. And I've never noticed this one looking like this. Is something wrong? He moved to a new tank a few weeks ago and was stressed in the beginning, but settled a good bit once I made a betted shelter for them. The other one actually had a badly damaged tail from my clowns, but he's fine now.

Yeah, he seems fine other than what appear to be swollen gills. I think they've been like this for at least a few days. I wondered if maybe he got some rubble stuck or something

Might have irritated his lower jaw. Would just keep an eye for labored breathing or not eating. Hopefully he recovers.

Hi, my goby suddenly started looking exactly the same as yours today. Did you ever figure out the cause and did you end up doing any treatment? Thanks
