lawnmower blenny panting

[spkdtch]

my lawnmower blenny has been panting rapidly for over a month, getting close to two months now, no ich, has been hypoed.
very large belly, eating well, no other signs of being sick, just breathing very very rapidly for a long time(months)
whats the deal?

Im no expert and I wouldnt completely depend on my information but mine does the exact same thing and has since I got him. Been almost four months. Nothing really to worry about. As long as he has a fat belly and eats well, you should be ok.

mine does the same thing also...he will breath rapidly sometimes and sometimes he will breath very slowly also...its kinda random but i've had mine for a while and it seems totally normal to me. i wouldn't be that worried

It seems to be pretty common behaviour for LMB. They are very hardy and mine has been with me almost 4 years now and has always panted if you will.

Yes, it is very common!
