Fish Herder
Tank size: 10g (US)
pH: 7.0
ammonia: 0.25
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 0.20
kH: n/a
gH: n/a
tank temp: 72-25 F
Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):
--- gourami (dwarf, neon blue) has been pacing the tank, today I noticed what looked to be a small bump just above his gill, and possibly one on the other side in the same place. never noticed these before, also he flicked against the tank walls twice on each side (which is why i think there is one on the other side though i can't really see it.). I can't tell if there's any real discoloration. There appears to be some red/orange, but it may just be his coloration.
Volume and Frequency of water changes:
--- recieves water changes once a week of 1/4 to 1/3 of the water removed, plus gravel vac
Chemical Additives or Media in your tank:
--- stress coat, melafix for a nipped fin (using correct dosage)
Tank inhabitants:
--- 1 dwarf gourami, 4 dwarf platies, three shrimp (who have been removed in case of medication with copper/etc.)
Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration):
--- shrimp - from another tank (healthy by all appearances), 4 dwarf platies - week old addition from lfs
Exposure to chemicals:
--- nothing i can recall except for the above
Does this sound parasitical in nature? Or perhaps a burn of some variety from the NO3 or ammonia? The platties seem to be completely unaffected, currently, and are even attempting to spawn.
