im sorry if I upset you buddy I was a little bit less than sober (probably shouldn’t have access to the forums whilst drinking) but I digress there’s no problem with the spiracles, thats a beautiful endli btw
i desided to read a little more about this subject and it would seem that getting small rocks on to spiracle could be harmufull.

Okey today poly started to seem very heavy and it was though fot it to get air and always it would get air i heard a weard sound (sounded like a stuffy nose). This has bee going on for maybe 20hours so it is not drowning but the heavynes is what makes me worry.i desided to read a little more about this subject and it would seem that getting small rocks on to spiracle could be harmufull.

mine bury themselves in the substrate and I have had no problems so im only talking from my experience.
Ok i think this is the point where i really should Be worried... Seems like he has issues taking air and always he would do it he lets this weard gasping sound. It really sound's like a stuffy nose. I really don't want to think he has swimbladder issues but he is sinking very rapidly and seems heavy? It stoped eating couple days ago (does that but rarely) and i didn't think too much of it. I really need some help here?...
do you have a hospital tank? lower the water level to where his head is just below the surface so he can breathe easier and not drown.
what are your water parameters?
what are your water parameters?
Ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 30-40 and no i dont have a hospital tank. I drained 1/3 of The water in his tank.
