Hi again, I have a t. abei emergency, today I came home from work to find my t abei very distended, dark in coloration with bright orange spots on him and looked like he was gasping or trying to expel/puke something up. I tested his water and it was fine (0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, 0 ammonia, PH 7.1) and temp was normal, please help!

i also did a 15% water change as well, tested my water before and after and results were still good, do you think he may have for some odd reason taken on air? i have been asking everyone i know about it and everyone seems to be drawing a blank

Think he could have a snail shell caught in his throat?

Bad snail perhaps.

he seemed fine after he ate it, but he is still looking dark today, he is eating krill though so im not sure if the shell is stuck, any suggestions on what i should do besides wait it out?

If he's eating, I wouldn't worry.
