Ok I will thanks allot for your advice.

Yes with water in it

the lfs just said it was live sand it is white in color. I will also remove the fish and do the water change. Thanks

I am using marine salt sg 1.009, if the ph is low what do I do about it? No I am not stirring the sand, 30 gallon tank.

ammonia 0 nit 0 nitrates 15 ph 7.5 no chemicals, extra filtration, fully cycled is this sufficient.

Okay so I am not imagining this then. I wounder how it effects their ability to to breath.

Hello, This might sound crazy but I think my gsp only has one gill or only one that is working. One of his or her gills is moving constantly but you cant even see the other one at all. After a close look you cant even tell there is a gill on the other side (no gill opening that can be seen). Is this...

Hello,
