Wrasse near death Please Help!

[jgisler2006]

Hello all,

To sum it up, my exquisite wrasse is very ill. I have had him for about 3 months now and he is my favorite fish in my 50 gallon fowlr. He is always healthy and active. Recently I went out of town and he has been hiding constantly. He won't come out to eat and is breathing extremely rapidly. I performed a freshwater dip to get a better look at him for a few minutes and I noticed he is extremely discolored. No signs of ich. His eyes were extremely bloodshot though.

The only tank mates include 2 clowns that are perfectly fine. I don't have time to test my parameters before I leave for work, however I am assuming they're fine as everyone else seems to be doing okay in the tank.

Any info is greatly appreciated thank you

The wrasse is also extremely disoriented and swam straight into the sand after I put him back into the aquarium.

So I tested my water:

Nitrate and Nitrite are a 0
Ammonia 0
PH 7.9
SG is good

The only thing I can think of is that my roommates may have used a Brita filter to fight the Evap when I was gone last weekend. Just in case I added a drop of Chlorine remover (not that I ever use tap water for anything)

Attached is a pic of the poor guy :/

Have you added anything to the tank recently?
