It appears in the last day or two my wrasse has become sick. I don't have a picture, but the symptoms are:
1. Slight discoloration of a patch on his head (whitish/grey in color) that doesn't appear to be raised. The patch is around the same size and shape as a capital "I" on a computer keyboard
2. Fins appear to be a bit worn/tattered
3. Breathing looks a bit heavy
4. He seems pretty lethargic and isn't swimming around the tank very much
The wrasse is not new and was quarantined (but not medicated with anything) for at least 4 weeks (I can't recall the exact timing because he wasn't newly added so this was a while ago). No other tankmates were recently added and none of them show any signs of illness.
Anyway any suggestions on what the problem is, and possible treatments? I'm thinking it sounds bacterial, but want opinions before I do anything.
