Sick wrasse

[Shallow Planet]

Any ideas? Stopped eating almost 2 weeks ago. Also stopped sleeping in the sand and now just lays on side breathing heavy. I thought maybe it was a parasite but brown poop. I did get it to eat after I dumped a bunch of pods in the tank and it perked up for a couple days but now back in its side.

When I first got it over a month ago it was eating frozen just fine. Not sure what to do at this point. I stopped metroplex because I thought maybe it was causing it to stop eating.

Any suggestions on what I should try? I have live black worms coming but I'm not sure if this is just malnutrition now...

Tamarin wrasses are hard to care for in captivity. Unfortunately he looks to be a goner

It’s definitely breathing heavy, have you done a freshwater dip to check for flukes?
