Sick FoxFace

Hello all,


I just woke up this morning to discover my foxface lo (large fish) on the bottom of my tank laying on his side with his black spotted 'danger" coloration active, but otherwise colorful. Any advice as to how to go about getting him back to proper foxface age? How thing i see negative is him pumping his gills, all the other fish in the tank seem fine with no issues, swimming about as normal. Ammonia just tested fine, waiting on other water result tests.

The coloration change is usually a sign of stress ... whether thats water quality, fish compatibility, or something else is unknown.

How big is that tank, what other fish. how old is the tank, what are you feeding the foxface?
