German Blue Ram Illness

Think it means wear the tissue comes away from the rays not sure.
With tb the fins will fall apart.
I think the best thing to do as we don't know if its fish tb is to get an internal wormer and see if that helps.
I always worm my fish now.
You could take a dead fish to the vets for tests., Just freeze the fish in a bag till you can take it to the vets for tests.
Also with internal parasites they cause bacterial infections.

Let you know if the films any good.

Happy to say I saw her poop and it looked normal. Wasn't weird colors or clear or weird looking.
What should I do now?

How do I worm fish? Should I treat with anything?

Is it possible to issolate the sick fish.
I would keep a look out for more symtoms to make sure it isn't fish tb.
There this internal parasite med.

What would they be stressed from? If they had parasites you mean?

They have such personality lots of things can stress them out! Mine lose colour and interest eating when they fall out with each other, if I dont pay them attention for a day, if the water quality dips. I can always cheer mine up by feeding them squsihed baby snails - its uncanny - they colour and cheer right up!

No I can't isolate her :\
I'll try that med and look for other symptoms.

The female seems to have more color. Hmm, I don't know why. Good though.

 

[WILDER]

Ok.
Good Luck.

Update, I haven't seen any more signs of illness. Everyone's poop seems correct and no oddities.

The female has colored up a lot. I really don't know what was wrong. Maybe the ph was too high or the nitrate was a little too much? I recently added pressurized co2 (which brought the ph down to 7.2ish) and switched to frozen bloodworms (twice a week snack) and she seems a lot better.

I'm thinking if I should get her another friend though... I kind of like having a pair but if she was sick, I don't know if I want to introduce another sensitive fish. As I found out they can be temperamental with the slightest changes
