ok i have a pair of firemouths (m & f). The male for some wierd reason looks like he's "panting" ALL THE TIME. with the exception of the the panting (which is often followed by what looks like an underwater cough) has NO sores, bumps or wierd things on his body. i tried to look in his mouth but there doesnt seem to be anything in there.
now the funny thing is that some of the other fish (who are all very healthy looking) are kinda picking on him a little but the female is very protective of him! she will whoop everyone who comes near him. i don't get what all the behavior is about. is it sickness or what?
I AM SO CONFUSED! CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?
P.S. the tank appears to be in good shape. there are plants and theres lots of room to move around. i have bubbles and a biowheel filter. im stumped.
