ok this is gonna be a long question so i apologize. I am currently in hospital and so i havent been able to see anyone about this problem. However i have utterly RANSACKED the internet, library and i have called specialists many times about it. There is nothing (that i can find) about this on the internet NOTHING atall like it. The many different specialist are confused too and dont know. You lot are my last result!!! Ok, so the fish go really thin loose there appetite swim very slowly and rock. Them after about 2 or 3 days they sink to the bottom of the tank and only hang about there, still for maybe about 30mins. Then they go onto there sides and they then struggle around, trying to get back upright by swimming in spirals around the tank. Eventually after another 30mins or so they almost 'give in' and they then end up on there side in a sharp 'v' shape shuffling around the floor of the tank. The awful thing is that this stage has before gone on from between overnight - 2days! Before they finally get still, even then they are still alive but still and breathing heavily on there side for atleast a few hour before they atlast die, poor things. However i have also had different things happen but they still die in a similar sort of way. The other way seemed to happen with only my platys. Its starts off the same way they tend to stay stationary mainly and dont eat, but instead of going matchstick thin they bloat out like balloon mollys. Then they sink to the bottom but unlike the other 'way' they dont struggle they immediatly go onto there side and shuffle about the bottom slowly, then, quicker than the other way they stay still but breathe heavily. And again unlike the other way they die, but alot quicker than the other way. But when they are dead all there scales stick out really spikey and they stay massive like they are gonna pop. But with the other way the dead fish look no different, infact if they werent so thin i would say it was a healthy fish. The specialists say that the second way sounds like dropsy, which i agreed with, so they gave me some meds and it hasnt done anything. I am flipping out.
Here is some of the important information. I have a 65litre tropical freshwater fish tank, with the correct equiptment, a filter and heater. All water qualities are better than perfect - i have my own kit and i have tried 7 different types of kits and had several specialists test the water too. Every time the same, perfect. These are the fish i had - 8 platys, 10 guppies, 2 honey gourami, and 2 agazizzi cory cats. 22 fish. Now i have only guppy and 1 cory left. ↲
Here is a really interesting thing. Every time i change the water atleast one fish died and every time i feed them the symptom move forward and sometimes a fish dies. HELP ME! i cant bare hearing about my pets suffering and dying like this! I really need help. Some help, any help.↲
Ask me as many questions as you like. JUST PLZ HELP. THANKS x
my tank has been set up for approaching a year now. I have never had any problems. Oh and another thing the other of the two agazizzi cory died differently. In a really astonishing way. It suddenly rushed to the water line they flopped onto its side ontop of my filter. It just gasped for hours then fell to the bottom and here's the horrible bit. On either side of its head - like near where our temples would be - there was like a splintered crack which was blood red like she was actually bleeding.↲
Although this particular tank has only been set up a year i have had many tropical fish tanks before and the rest of my family are just as experienced as me if not more so. I no everyone probably says this, but, i am obsessed with fish keeping, infact i over care my fish and i am always going in a flap about the tinyest things. I care for my fish so much bodi crushes me to see them in this state, as i have never really had any issues over all these years of fish keeping.
My ph levels are all excellent and my temperature is at 26oC. Everything i have in this tank is used in all my other tanks and its the same with the type of fish. Never had any issues. I have already been down all these roads and its always a dead end. NOTHING LINKS IN!!! grrrrr!!! Its so annoying and upsetting.
Sorry for the epic topic!!
