My ritteri shriveled up and its mouth is wide open. All water checks perfect.

P.H. is 8.2 Nitrates are 5 Nitrites are 0 Ammonia is 0. Lighting is a 48" solar extreme with 4 bulbs, 2 white 2 blue. Sorry to be so vague but I am really new to the hobby. Tank has been established for 7 months and everything else is doing fine.

I agree.....looks really bad......what size tank?

 

I am seriously thinking not enough light......and because the nem is not well, the clowns will just irritate it to a quicker death

 

you need to get the clowns away from it.....and it needs more light
