pls help. recently i’ve notice he’s been kind of lethargic, resting on the bottom of the tank more frequently. i tested water parameters and everything is in perfect condition. i rescued him about 3 months ago from petsmart, and everything has been good until this point. if he is suffering i want to put him out of his misery but if this is an easy fix im willing to take advice 😞

Might be sbd, hes struggling to stay om top of the tsnk to breathe, stop feeding him for a few days and turn up the heater, lower the water level so he can breathe through he surface easier until he gets better, hope your buddy heals smoothly!
