Steve Breathing On 1 Gill

[Blubble37]

Hi Guys, erm dont know how to phrase this but I think Steve may well end up dead... just noticed it this morning and his left gill has stopped working - it looked darker and slightly puffier than the other gill. He was breathing fine and the other gill was expanding to 2X the size it normally does. Every now and again he takes a big gulp and thios stretches his gill a lot. He shudders when it stretches as well... like he is feeling pain.

Justed Looked at him again now - he has his winning smile on and sailfin partially erected, his left gill is showing some movement around the flaps and this is an improvement from this morning... I will keep a watch on him but would like your advice.


Will fill out a form, i forgot...
