My BP is in a 100G tank with 2 other BP's and some silver dollars. The male BP is now sitting on the bottom of the tank and seems to be breathing fast. His tummy looks a litte sunken as well. He also seems to have trouble swimming to the top of the tank.
Ammonia and Nitrites are 0. Nitrates are 40, but doing WC right after posting this message. Temp is 78, and ph is 7.8.
Part of me thinks internal parasite, but the other thinks there may be something bacterial internally. Dont' know what to treat, so hoping someone here can give me suggestions. I'm going to move him into a 20L hospital tank so I can begin treating for something - just don't know what is most likely, or if I should treat for both?
Any help appreciated...
