Thank you. :-)

No. I haven't seen any in the main tank but would it be safer to dose it anyway? So if I do my course of sterazin, leave it48hrs and do a water change then go for melafix for bacteria? And repeat 3 weeks later? Apparently shrimp can live at 18' which is roughly the lowest our flat gets so I can...

He was swimming erratically before I put him in Qt and now he is in there I can't get a proper look at him as he is in a large bucket with filter and heater. But yes gasping, flashing, swimming erratically, not eating and sitting still. Picked up some waterlife sterazin and have started treating...

so he was sitting in his hospital tank and i thought i heard him hit off the side a few times so went to have a look at him and he jumped out. i put him back in, must have only been out for 15s max but now he is sitting on the bottom completely still. only his gills are moving. any chnace of him...

I looked at the interpet but have a shrimp however I have now managed to isolate him in a bucket with filter and heater. He sometimes looks fine but then starts all the flashing again. I have stopped with the melafix. He is hiding in a rock so can't really get a good look at him but still...

Thanks. Will give that a go. How often should I change the water at the moment?

i only have the one tank so not really appart from putting him in a bucket without filter or heater.i live in glasgow

h its ok. thanks for your help. i'm struggling too. if there was something visible apart from his behaviour it would be a lot easier.   seems better. he is still sitting at the surface a lot but he does that occasionaly anyway

don't think so. it's only occasionally, maybe 3 or 4 times a day. i have noticed that he does it more when feeding, especially on tetratabimin sinking tablets. he seems to have perked up a little since the water change but i added melafix again after the change so cant tell if its that or not.

sorry just realised the computer flipped the pics upside down. no he has a very pale chest. rather translucent, can see his ribs and stomach through it. not cotton wooley at all. will see if i can make them better quality

He is the smaller of the 2 No curved spine, just slender and no sign of spots or dusting. Could it be stress or iritation due to the amonia and new tank mates? He is also a lot smaller than the other platie which was bought at the same time, both males. Approx 7 months.
