EBJD help!

[calcnerd]

My young EBJD (about 4") was absolutely fine. I left for the weekend and came back to him not looking well. The one side of his face looks somewhat sunken in & he seems to be hanging out at the top of the tank half on his side.

I have treated for parasites in the past and constantly monitor. There are no current signs. I run a UV sterilizer on the tank as well.

It looks like he's gotten beaten up a little bit since he's just hanging out up top. Here's a current pic.

How big is the aro???

he looks like he's just stressed from being picked on

if you have an alternative tank for him you should take him out till he gets better b/c these guys dont last long when it comes to stress

i bet its the aro

There is almost zero aggression in the tank. I've not once seen the aro go after him. He's around 6".

Does anyone know about the face looking sunken in? The side of his face (even his eye) look sunk on one side.
