Need Help Quick, think my blenny is dying

[justinl]

are you sure it has been eating what you've been giving it? that thing looks like an aquatic version of nicole richie (well okay your fish is at least much less gross).

what have you been feeding and what did you switch to just now? hurry up with those params. if a fish is malnourished, it will be more prone to stress, so maybe that's what happened? it would explain why the other well fed fish are doing okay.

are you using any food supplements (like selcon or vita-chem)? if not i would suggest starting now, at least for the blenny.

i believe if a fish is foxface stung, it puffs up and the stung area goes red. do you see any unusual lesions or sores?

Well, I'm too late. Ran downstairs and he was wedged in the rocks.

Parameters:

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0.1
nitrate 5
temp 26 celcius
salinity 1.027
ph 8.3

I watched him eat last night. I had been feeding New Life Spectrum pellets as well as freeze dried brine shrimp, last night they got new life spectrum plus "ocean nutrition formula two marine pellets"

The change in appearance and behaviour happened almost overnight. Last night I watched him eat both the NLS pellets and the new stuff. He was social and had energy.

He did not look even remotely like that picture last night. He was a lot closer to the bottom one I took 5 or 6 days ago.

Sorry for you loss. Sometimes there is just no explaining fish mortality.
