is my ritteri dead or dying?

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

How about actual test #'s
also...how old is your tank? and what type of lighting?

 

[racejunkie24200]

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.

To me that nem is not looking too good.

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

that thing is about to nuke the tank.these things are all about alot of light .
