Zesso Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hi, I need some help, my Electric Blue Acara is breathing weirdly since yesterday. (added the fish about 5 months ago, nothing as changed) Ammonia, Nitrites are at 0, Nitrates are at arround 10 and I just did my weekly waterchange to be sure it wasn't the problem...but no change. All the other fishs are ok, temp is at 78F. https://youtu.be/MlKDPCk3YHM I made this video to show you... Is it an internal parasite ? What should I use to help him ? Thank you !

Colu Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 When you did your water change Did you add a dechlorinator like prime have you add any new fish to the tank resently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zesso Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Added Safe yes, but he was breathing like that before and still is, after 24h. I have plenty of surface agitation too. I added a small Geophagus about 2 weeks ago, from a friend. I had no space for quarantine so I added him directly in this tank...that's why I'm thinking it's a parasite or something...

Colu Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Have you noticed him rubbing against things in the tank if so coupled with the rapid breathing it could be Gill flukes I would treat with paracleanse or general cure it can take 2-3 Course of treatment two weeks apart or you can add it to there food heres a recipe you can use with paracleanse or general cure Edited June 15, 2023 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
