Lately my wrasse has been twiching a lot. He goes to the front of my tank and spazz's (if that is even word) out. I thought he was dying but he has been doing this for 2-3 weeks. He eats and still hides when I scare him. I also notice he is HUGE now. I didn't realize how big he got until I compared him to a wrasse at the LFS. His stomach also looks inflated as well. Maybe he just has GAS and needs gasx :lol:

whoah really? I've heard that with somebody who said that same exact thing but with their percula clown. If memory serves right, they said it may be a little bit of stress, but otherwise say he should be fine. Try adding some stress coat. Would suck ass if he starts getting too bad where he may get ick. He's so healthy and I've seen that big belly. If he gets any worse I think you should quarantine him. But then again like you said, he may just have gas, ha ha ha ha :lol:
I actually don't like stress coat. I used it once on the reccomendation from one of the LFSs that I don't normally trust, and it caused my skimmer to go crazy. Several of the corals, closed up for a couple days, my anemones scrunched up as well. I won't use it again. So far in my experience if a fish is unhealthy it won't last 2-3 weeks. It either dies or gets better. If it's continuing to do this for this amount of time, I doubt it's something 'wrong' with the fish. It may be reacting to it's own reflection. I'm not sure what type of 'displaying' a six line does if it sees another one. My dwarf lion periodically will see it's reflection and run over to it and open it's mouth and spread it's fins all out, and generally appear to be puffed up and bigger...Stupid fish. :?dragon79 said:

It might be its reflection since he does flare out. He looks awesome btw since his fins have more colors when he flares out. I dont like using stress coat as well since my skimmer goes nuts and all the water gets out. First time I did it, I had to replace 2 GALLONS OF WATER.
