Hi,
I have a GBR I just bought on Tuesday. Until today (Sunday), he was active, hanging out at the bottom of the tank, and picking away at baby shrimp and snails for food. This morning he was suddenly lethargic, hanging out upper/mid tank, and not eating. He has gone to the very top of the tank (to gasp for air maybe?) a few times, and his mouth looks weird, kind of white but NOT fuzzy. It didn't look like a fungus or rot to me. His mouth does look like he's constantly panting and maybe can't close it, though? See photos.
This is a fully cycled, heavily planted 55g with a bunch of tiny rainbows and cherry shrimp that are totally fine. Temp is 79, ammonia and nitrites zero, ph is 7-7.5. I did a 25% water change to see if it would help, but no improvement. What do I do?
