Hi, yesterday i noticed he was more lethrgic then usual but stiil eating and swimming and today morning he was lying on his side. he is breathing fast and his gills seems pretty datk colored. im not sure if they were like tgis but from searching about it i saw that it might be normal coloration. I also see pineconing of his scales but not much bloating.Do you have any idea what might be the cause for this and how to treat it?
