First off water perams are fine. Phosphates are a little high, but this has been an ongoing issue and they are finally starting to come down this week.
Problem:
I have 2 spotted wrasse. One yellow tail and one red tail. I came home from work this morning and found my red tailed spotted wrasse awake and out. He's normally still hiding and asleep because my lights don't actually come on for another 3 hours or so. Anyways, I see him laying on the bottom sand bed, which is never a god sign, and looked like he had irregular breathing. Sometimes short, sometimes quick. So I grabbed my flashlight and shined the area he was in and he rolled upside down and then started swimming funny. He was bumping into the glass, then laying on the bottom again on his side, then swimming irratically and bumping into rocks and the glass. He has spurts of swimming aimlessly, but in a tight area and clumsily. This is very nerve racking. Ive only had him for about 3 weeks, and he was fine yesterday before I went to work. He was fed yesterday also, and HE DID eat! The most recent thing I added was yesterday when I added an orange tube anemone, 2 turbo snails, and 5 hermits. I don't understand it.
He is currently moved down into my SUMP. Im afraid Im going to lose him. It doesn't look good. Any help is appreciated! I want to save him!!!
