Hello,
This fish has been acting funny from Day 2. We're probably on day 25 or so. Tank had only cycled past the cloudy stage, about day 3 when I put him in.
Anyways, fish sits around alot, then seems to get real spunky, then sits around and breaths hard. I noticed the gills flapping and the meat behind them seeming a little red. I assume he got ammonia poisoning. I check stats with a strip and the ammonia was a skoshe' high. None of the other fish exhibited any issues, but I started treating the tank with AmQuel+ plus as well as Tetra Lifeguard All-in-One. The fish really seemed to liven up, especially after some partial water changes and ongoing treatments with this stuff. I've only been treating now for 5 days.
Now the fish is sitting around again.
Looks fungal to me, and symptoms appear fungal.
Does anyone have any treatment ideas besides the AmQuel+ and Lifeguard? I don't want this guy's issue affecting my other guys, which are all doing fine. I'd like to see the fish pull out because I don't enjoy seeing living things suffer.
Sorry I don't have water stats, but I ran out of my last test strip on Tuesday. From memory, Nitrates 0, Nitrites 0, water sorta' hard between 75 annd 150, Alkalinity about 120, PH around 8.0, Ammonia, I don't know, so I started treating based on symptoms.
Best Regards,
