I have had this fish for 10+ years in a mixed reef. In Febuary I started a new tank 180g its in the build section of this forum. I had no issues with any fish during the transfer. Recently, about a week ago i noticed above average respirations. Today the fish was hiding in the back of the tank with gills flared as if to not let them close. Fish still looks healthy otherwise, good color, nice and thick, clear fins and eyes. He did come out for food but appetite is less than normal.
The system the fish is currently in has alot of aiptasia. I have been planning on breaking down this system and plumbing a 100 gal tub into a current running 90gal frag system this week, to seed new dry rock and house the existing fish. I do have a hospital tank i could setup and will work towards doing so as well.
Any ideas on diagnosing and treatment?? Thanks
