tnnlynch Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) This guy was not looking a little thin last week but he has always been the smallest of the danio's so I wasn't worried yet. Packing and moving my daughter kept me busy for a few days with minimal tank time. I noticed today he looked horrible and is staying at the top of the tank. I moved him to my hastily setup hospital tank with some salt. The other danios, barbs, corys, shrimp and snails look healthy and active. No new tank members this year other than some cherry shrimp from another of my tanks. The danios are a little over a year old. Water parameters are normal for this reasonably heavily planted 29g tank. NO3: 25 (usually swings from 25-50), NO2: Zero, HG 300+, KH 40 (generally 40-60), PH 6.6. My tap KH is 80 and PH 6.8 so both drop over the week in-between water changes. Thoughts? Would you treat with anything else? Edited May 31, 2022 by tnnlynch Added information.

tnnlynch Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Sorry, that is the light at the top of the tank. His coloration is normal. No spots or sores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnnlynch Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Couldn't get any Fritz Expel P so I started in the Paracleanse I did have. Will follow up with the Expel-P when it arrives later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnnlynch Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Unfortunately he has stopped eating an now is lying on the bottom of the tank. No reaction to the Expel-P. Might be something else or I just got to him too late. I will see how he looks tomorrow. Edited June 3, 2022 by tnnlynch Typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
