A couple weeks ago I posted about my tribal blenny who was showing some difficulty breathing. His stomach also appeared enlarged but I thought it was just from eating a big meal since I had just fed when I noticed the unusual breathing. It cleared up after a day or two and I attributed it to stress due to a snit with the watchman goby -- the blenny looked and acted totally normal. Well, he was fine for all that time then literally overnight he developed lesions near the head and tail and popeye, and became very lethargic, hanging out on the bottom but still eating. With all these symptoms combined based on what I've read here I believe it to be a bacterial infection. Got him out of the DT into QT, will be treating with a broad spectrum antibiotic. I just wanted to make sure that's the best course of action. No other tank inhabitants are showing any signs of stress. Any other advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
