Flash Is Sick

[ScoutCarcer]

I went to the tank this morning to feed my fish and Flash my albino cory was spinning around while he was swimming. And now hes weak and can barely move.

 

[ScoutCarcer]

Anyone?

 

[WILDER]

Can you post water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, how long have you had him, spinning is not a good sign i'm afraid, as he been flicking and rubbing also against objects.

 

[ScoutCarcer]

Ammonia:0
Nitrites:0
Nitrates:0.5
PH: 7.0-7.1
Temperature:76 degrees

Ive had him for almost 1 week. He isnt rubbing against things or flicking.

 

[WILDER]

What was the ph of the lfs to your tank, and did you climatise him right, as it sounds like it could be ph shock.

 

[ScoutCarcer]

It was the same and now hes on his side on the bottom of the tank and wont move. Hes alive though

 

[WILDER]

I would get him out of the tank, as there is a desease called whirling desease, just to be on the safe side, he won't make it i'm afraid, had it happen to me sorry.

 

[ScoutCarcer]

Bye Bye Flash

 

[WILDER]

Sorry, been there, have you issolated him.

 

[ScoutCarcer]

I put him in my hospital tank but he is dead

 

[WILDER]

Sorry for your loss, R.I.P. little fellow.

Was it 'rolling' over, but breathing rapidly? It sounds almost like what happend to mine.

 

[ScoutCarcer]
