Hey guys/girls,
Im trying to figure out what my fish has right now! Here is all the information i have.
I have a 75 gallon tank
Ph is at 7.6
Ammon. 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20
I do 2 35% water change every wednesday and saturday religiously unless im sick.
Its a mixed Peacock/Hap tank all male. Some chasing here and there, no REAL damage, just a nipped fin.
Here are the symptoms:
- I noticed the last couple days my Lemon Jake has gotten darker purple
- hangs out at one side of the tank.
- hasnt eaten in 2 days, its gonna be 3 today
- has a coughing like motion every couple mins
- looks like hes struggling to breathe, not breathing heaving just looks like deep breaths
- he still chases fish if they get near him?
- scratches faces on sand/rocks
Now, at first i thought it was bloat, so i did a treatment of clout last night. now im thinking its more gill flukes?
Would it be ok if i switched to Prazipro instead now? Or do the two meds conflict and harm the fish more?
What else can i do?
Thanks for any help!
