Hello all,
I had a pair of two Black Rams that were happy and healthy and I had introduced 10 neon tetras and since half of those had passed away unexpectedly with perfect water parameters and they were quarantined for almost two weeks. Since then my female black ram has passed away without any recognizable cause but the male seems to have developed a seriously concaved stomach even though he eats normally and has normal behavior which makes me assume there may be some sort of parasite residing inside of him. He will poop normal colored feces after feeding but then will randomly have white/clear feces. I have tried metroplex but he wont touch food with it. Any ideas are welcome. All parameters are perfect as I do 20-30% water changes weekly and there are 5 neon tetras, 2 pearl danios, 1 remaining emerald cory, and a densely planted 29 gallon tank at 81 degrees F.
