Question
Okay so my long nosed butterfly fish just recently became ill it started by swimming akwardly by swimming on its sides and upside down and now it just lays at the bottom of my tank. It seem to breath heavily sometimes. I keep it in a 10 gal. tank with two damselfishes, a sea urchin, a sea cucumber, and a clownfish.
