LMB is not looking good

[amixam98]

Came home from work and was feeding the tank and noticed the lawnmower blenny not going after the food. He hasn't moved since I came home. Put my hand in the tank and he still didn't budge. Breathing heavily with his mouth open. Just tested my water and everything seems fine. All the other fishes are doing fine. I did a water change last night. I don't have a hospital tank. I guess I have to wait and see what happens. This could be first fish to die on me.

How long have you had this fish?

 

[amixam98]

Over a year.

Do you have an anemone? My 1st LMB did the same thing, and I noticed after that one side of him was discolored. He was laying beside my Sebae anemone, and died within about 3 hours. I was told he wa most likely stung.

Do you have an anemone?

Yes I do. He looks like he lost some color. A little pale.

That's how mine looked. He was very white on one side, and breathing very heavy. Hopefully it's something else.

How's he looking?

He died last night around 8. He made it through the night on Wed. Poor guy was suffering.

That's a bummer. I wonder if it was the anemone.
