Hi Everyone,
My tailspot blenny is looking a little worse for wear.
His belly is now concave, and his face is looking really skinny. It resembles a really skinny person when their cheekbones are visible.
He is now sticking to the bottom of the tank, not moving, whereas before (two days ago) he was very active and liked to poke out of his little spot.
I’m currently doing water tests now, so will have more information on the levels of the tankbut I did a water change yesterday so I’m not expecting there to be anything out of the ordinary.

Can anyone tell me what they think is wrong? I’m very concerned for him.

I have a clownfish, feather dusters, and some star fish in the tank that are all looking normal.

thanks in advance.

I think you’re also gonna need to post photos and video under white so folks can assess the fish.

and in addition to parameters, age of tank, how long blenny has been in it, any recent additions to the tank…
