[pauly187]

hello all
im new to MFK
my names paul
have a 135 gallon tank 6ft
FX5 and AC 110 Filtration
tank temp 80
stock list: 2 tiger oscarsmaybe 8inchs
comman pleco 7inch
1 fire eel 16inch
water peramiters: 0-0-10
question:
fire eel is breathing kind of heavy and keeps mouth open it seems
no visual fungus nothing at all eel looks healthy and eats healthy....
is there any reason to be concerned? bacteria infection? somthing internally wrong that i cant see and need to treat? only difference in behaiver is staying inside his tube now were before he would come out....

stressed?
hmmm very good point i think i over looked that as an option cause im stressed myself wondering if hes dying on me haha

check ur water parameters again, and if theyre fine the only thing i could think of is hes cramped (doubt it) or the oscars are stressin him out
