Hello everyone! Since the brown algae bloomed in my old setup, I have removed nearly all the plant and had a new setup.
Around 50% of the water is from the old tank, with some new and old plants put in.
However, once the setup was done, the blueness of one of my twins tetra (blue Harlequin Rasbora) suddenly faded away! The other one is just doing fine.
I immediately isolated the sick one. Instead of being as active as usual, it just floats steadily at the same position with fins flapping. If it is shocked, it runs very quickly and hits the tank, just like a normal fish.
I looked up some articles and guessed it happened due to neon tetra disease. I am not sure tho. I also read that it is nearly incurable.
Can you forks help please? Thanks a lot!
They have lived together for 2.5 months: (im not so sure about the exact names)
blue Harlequin Rasbora x2
cory catfish x2
ember tetra x1
gold tetra x1
betta x1
The twins used to look like this:
Faded once after changing the setup!!!!
One week after isolation. I can see that it is turning almost complete white. Never seen it eats since day 1 of isolation.
I know that the water is a bit dirty, but I worried it would get worse if I changed the water...
