sick dottyback

[m's wtrwld]

Please help me! We just recently purchased a Fridman's dottyback to solve our bristle worm problem. Today he started hiding in a hole in our live rock and looks as though he is gasping for air. We have tested the water and everything is fine. He is the only fish that seems to be doing this. Anyone have any ideas?

2 things maybe it needs more time to aclimate and check your water conditions

thanks for the idea but we had a death in the water world last night.

You also do not have to purchase another one. Some of the older books suggest that bristleworms are harmful, but the truth is that most of these are quite beneficial. (Just don't touch one with bare hands).
