I have a Threadfin Butterfly in 'observational' quarantine for 16 days - until know he/she has been perfect, eating regurlalry from day 1 etc, then last night didnt eat and this morning really shallow breaths mouth almost staying open and just getting blown around by the flow( internal tunze 9004) not strong or anything.
no difference in appearance that i can see - no spots etc - ive just given a FW bath for 5 mins during which time she just laid there - ive done a 50% WC altho temp etc have been stable - 0 ammonia according to red sea and seachem badge - and yesterday i received metroplex so after the bath shes now in it
behaviour the same since the FW bath - ive added air stone to increase O2 exchange
Thoughts please? - she came from my LFS and was in the same tank for at least 2 months before i bought her - i watched her feeding and behaviour etc before i eventually purchased -
