Sick Blenny, I Have Pics

[Squared]

Fish has eaten some food last night and today, is swimming, but less energetically than normal. Cheeks seem sunken in.

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, he's in bad trouble. Pull him out to hospital and I'd probably use Metronidazole in the water.

He ate last night, and I fed him about an hour ago. Is acting a lot better now, and comes to the surface for food if I put my hand above the tank. I can see all those pellets inside him...could it be an internal parasite that keeps him so skinny? Feed my fish every 3 days, my blenny never got fatter since the day I got him.

I'll look up that metronidazole stuff.

quote from wetwebmedia: "Internal flagellate complaints manifest themselves in lethargic behavior, sitting on the bottom, bloating, slow, labored breathing, a lack of feeding..."

so metronidazole treats flagellates??? what is that? my blenny is eating, is skinny, not bloated, and is swimming pretty normaly. breathing may be just a little heavier.
