ok so i’ve had a lot of problems with my nem and it was going ok until today.
so this morning my tank lights turned on as normal same time but i looked at my nem and i saw something different it looked like the first picture and i was like ok that’s a little strange but i think it’s just had a long weekend or yesterday was really stressful for it.
but then around 12 it started to open back up like it normally dose but as it progressed to opining it looked like picture 2 which is what it looks like now it has its mouth opened and half of it isn’t inflated and it been this way for at least 20 minutes now i dont know if it’s still puffing up or if it now has a bacterial infection.
if it dose have a bacterial infection that could makes sense because over the weekend my red scooter blenny died and he was a really small guy around an inch or so so i decided to feed it to the nem which fully inflated is around 3 inches so could it have gotten a bacterial infection from that or is it just reinflating itself.

ok so i shouldn’t order that bacterial stuff and treat it i should just keep leaving it alone like i’ve been doing because i’ve never fed my nem something that big before
LOL- it probably never ate anything that big
