I have a fluval 13.5 gal that I’ve had for like 5 years and a clownfish in it for the last 3. He normally would swim at the top in the corner of the tank but recently has been sitting at the bottom near a rock that my pistol shrimp and goby have a tunnel under.
And about a week ago I noticed his mouth stuck open and saw some other people with similar issues say it just went away but it still has not and he is on the sand now breathing heavy with his mouth still unable to close. I don’t think it could have been a coral sting since I have no corals currently. All I have in the tank is live rock, some tiny hermits, a pistol shrimp, and copper band goby.
He is eating by sucking the food in that comes near him and it seems to be staying down. All other parameters are normal and I did a water change 2 days ago. I have kept reef tanks for a while now but have never actually had a fish need medications so if anyone has advice on that or something I would appreciate it!
