Hello;
Over the past 2 - 3 days my Dwarf lion which I'm keeping with a blue Damsel and Tomato Clown has started to breath rapidly, and just hide out in corners, no longer responding to me coming to the tank for feeding - or running from my hand during feeding.
Other than breathing heavily, I suppose he's showing some mouth movement (normally his mouth barely moves while breathing). He doesn't look injured, his eyes look fine from the sides, maybe a lil cloudy from head on, on the outer lense.... but its hard to tell.
I have seen ich present on my Tomato clown for about the first 2-3 months I've had him, but never any spots on either the Lion or Damsel (I've had them for at least 6 months I believe now).
Unless there is some distinct random ich present inside the lions gills ?
Also, his diet consists of some flake food and dried blood worms which he's learned to eat, along with Trader Joes frozen shrimp sometimes laced with shrimp pellets.
this is the first time he's shown any problem and I've also just done some recent water changes altho several tiny hermits were added for Mantis Shrimp food last Friday.
