SWilson Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Just received shipment of 8 long fin panda cories today. One DOA. One more went downhill towards the end of the acclimation process. Was in same bag as the DOA actually. the fish cannot keep upright and is swimming erratically. I can see some redness on the side of the body. And they are gasping currently have them in a measuring cup with some maracyn-treated water. I kept the water level low so that they could easily get to the surface for air. this one also has some pretty severe fin rot. would you euthanize? I could wait for the morning, but feel bad as they are very likely suffering. I actually don’t have clove oil on hand, but I do have Tricaine.

If it were me, I would put an air stone in the tank/bowl/container, and hope for the best. Maybe it will recover by the morning. This way you won't be left wondering if it could have survived. I tend to leave euthanization as a last resort when I know that all hope is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I am sorry this is happening. I would not medicate right away as medication can be hard on them as well. Tons of clean fresh water and lots of air. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
