It hides most of the time near bottom at the cave and breaths quickly.
I ruled out water quality.
The fish does not seem to be harassed by any other.
I bought it 4-8 weeks ago and was fine until just few days ago, it would eat loads of pellets everyday.
It's not just sitting there, it sometimes swims out into open, would grab pellets only to bring them down to the cave and spit them out there.
It also often swims to Glass Anemone Shrimps living nearby and gets cleaning treatment. It actually does that every 30-60 mins and opens mouth fully for cleaning. Then swims back to the cave entrance.
There also is an anemone nearby, that's where the fish goes to sleep.
Here is a pic of it, was wondering if anything seen there is swollen?
Maybe it's constipation?
EDIT: It looks like it's actually blocking the cave entrance with its own body almost all the time.
