Symptoms and Treatment
One of his gills seems to be not closing all the way and the little flappy thing(ug im not sure what its called but its the thing that move while it breathes) on the side with the open gill seems to be moving more rapidly then the one on the side with his normal gill. I know this is not normal and i think it might gill flukes or it could be just the way he is? but i dont remember seeing this when i first got him almost 2 weeks ago
It looks like the pictures in this thread ,but it is only on one side and not as extreme
I'm not sure when this started happening. He also is trying to get into small spaces such in between the thermometer and under/ behind the heater.
Please help, i only have an hour before i have to leave for the weekend
