Zebra Danio Ill

[fishy55599]

my zebra danio has fell ill, with red over it's body, i am treating it for bacteria infection.
but it is starting to loose its colour (its stripes)
anything i can do?

They will lose their colour like that and the stripes will fade when they are stressed. So long as you are quarantining it and treating it for the ailment, you are doing all you can. Good luck!

oh it could be that the other constantly chaces it around, as i had 6 but 4 passed

If he is being chased that will definitely not help either. I had 4 Danios and the biggest chased the littlest til he lost color like yours. I ended up getting 2 more so 6 total and the aggression dissipated for sure.

How recently did your other 4 pass? You sure the water conditions are alright?

they passed a whkile ago.
pretty sure my conditions are fine.

the redness has gone down a lot today and stripes are beggining to come bback! so haappy!

Nice!

Its no good saying 'im pretty sure my water conditions are fine' - do you have a test kit and if so what are your water stats? Is the tank fully cycled? If your water stats are not good its most likely the cause of your dead and ill fish!
