Katherine Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 It looks like probably no ammonia to me. Can you test again and look straight down it with the lid off? That'll give you a better read when it's iffy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I agree doesn't look like ammonia it could be hemorrhagic septicemia or a bacterial infection I would treat with kanaplex in food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
