What's wrong with my Naso?

It is simply laying on the bottom breathing looks labored. No sign of ick or anything like that and no aggression that I have seen. He has not been eating well and now he has large white spots.

Looks like his stress patern.

Is it fatal? I first noticed it when I did a water change a couple of hours ago. I'm not sure if he was that way before I started the change but the pump was off for 25 minutes or so.

Hard to tell without more information. How are the other fish doing?

 

[rk4435]

It was 10% and the temp didn't change noticeably.

I had to leave for graduation so there is nothing else I can do for now.

the stress pattern is bothersome... but the way he is laying on the sand worries me more

How long have you had it.Was it eating some type of seaweed.Reason I ask, they can go a few months without eating seaweed or veggies, but then there immune system will weaken and die..

Definitely stress pattern. The question is, "Why?"

Sometimes they freak out a bit when new activity happens in the tank.

How is he doing this morning?

 

[heathlindner25]

just curious, did this fish make it ?

 

[rk4435]

Sadly no. I'm not sure what caused the trouble. No other fish showed any signs of stress.
