Tank size: 29 gallons
tank age: 5 months
pH: ~ 7
ammonia: 0
nitrite:
nitrate:
tank temp: 75 fahrenheit
Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): I had this blue gourami, a dwarf gourami, 5 serpae tetras, 8 neon tetras, a pepper cory, an olocinclus, and an albino Plecostomus in the tank. The gouramis were the second additions, and I have had them perfectly fine for about 4 months. After thanksgiving, when I left a food stone in the tank, I came back and did a water change of about 15%. I also added 4 new artifical plants during the water change and replaced the filter - was that too much to change at once? I treated the added water with stress coat and strezz zyme. I have done this plenty of times since I have had the tank and it has never been a problem. After the water change, I noticed a serpae had some white stuff on the front of him, and he was super lethargic, and he died this morning, about 4 days later.
My blue gourami LOOKS fine, but he is more lethargic than usual, staying only in the corners of the tank usually. He also has only eaten a couple flakes of food in the last couple days, when normally he is voracious and eats the most.
Volume and Frequency of water changes: 15 - 20% every 2 - 3 weeks
Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: stress zyme every 1-1.5 weeks
Here are some pictures of the gourami as of now:
Thank you to anyone who can help!
