Emergency, fish dying.

[Ben2522]

How old are the fish in question?

I have had these fish for I would say 3 months. Pehaps they are around 6 months in total. I got a group of 11 all but the ones who died doubled in size. The ones who have died and these 3 havent grown at all.

There really aren’t any visible signs other than very skinny which I assume is due to not eating. Water peramiters are perfect.

You have some very interesting aquarium problems...

Very frustrating. I think disease would kill faster and more widespread. Could he stress but from what... it’s always the smaller and presumably weakest fish in the tank.

Speaking of small/weak... have you noticed and bullying or fin nipping? What food do you feed them? (Brand name)

Pictures and video of the sick fish?

If fish stop eating, lose weight and gasp at the surface, it's normally caused by an internal bacterial or protozoan infection. Metronidazole would be the medication to try but you won't get that in the UK. You are probably best to euthanise them and hope the remaining fish don't develop it.

No bullying or nipping. All seem very peaceful and everyone gets along. Food is nt labs tropical probiotic granule.

I have just dosed interpet anti bacteria medication since last week. This including the salt and 30degrees. No effect.

He’s in a jug submerged in the water. Put a bit of food in to try get it to eat
