Hi ppl,
Damn, just when things are looking good, levels are acceptable and settled... bang, another kick in the teeth....
Today my Blue Gourami has been flashing and flicking like a bit of a lunatic.... he keeps opening his mouth pretty wide and occasionally gasps...
He is feeding, and is his normal self (arrogant) + this behavior....
His gills almost appear kind of raised - hard to describe, but not red or sore looking. Absolutely no signs of ICH or anything visable.....
My diagnosis is gill flukes, although any other ideas would be greatly welcomed (especially if its better news)
I need to setup a hospital tank to treat for them i guess, as i am limited with medication as far as my catfish are concerned.....
When treatment recommendation say a salt bath.... does this mean adding salt to a small tank? or applying it directly......?
Any pictures or help much appreciated.....
Thanks
