Need help. 100 gallon with wet dry 20 gallon sump. All my parameters are good. I have a dogface puffer and a maroon clown. Last week I got a small niger trigger. He was eating and doing great until this morning. He was swimming all strange and ended up stuck on my power head. I got him off and he went and hid in between the rocks breathing short but heavy . He did this all afternoon and then suddenly did the dance of death a few times and is now laying on the sand hardly breathing . What could be wrong? I hve no idea what to do. He has no spots or growths but ho's color did get different. Please help. I love this little guy
 
I'm no expert by any means, but what are your parameters? Did you quarantine him? How dis.you acclimate him? These are questions I know everyone will ask!!
 
Thanks for replying but he's gone. It was the quickest demise I've ever seen. Last night he was totally fine. All the other fish are totally fine as well. I think it may have been an internal parasite or something
