Liddojunior Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) I got a couple new fish that I ordered online. Ordered chili rasboras and CPDs. On arrival I had half the chili rasboras dead. I put them in a cycled QT tank. The chili rasboras all died, fortunately the CPDs are looking good. They have colored back up and eating well. But had a couple suddenly die with distinct yellow internal coloring. Picture attached shows a CPD that is clearly colored up, the fins if in water are fully visibly orange. But the belly and top of the head are very visibly bright neon yellow. As all the fish in the QT, not concerned about spreading but would like to have an idea of what it is so I could treat it effectively. Tank parameters are Amon and Nitrite 0 ppm. Nitrate 10-20 ppm. Hard water. pH 7.2. Edited March 17, 2023 by Liddojunior Added image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Yellow colouring possible velvet or a bacterial infection if it s a bacterial infection what I would do is add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3 gallons and do a course of maracyn2 or kanaplex if it were velvet the most effective treatment is Fritz copper safe you will need a copper test kit to keep the level of copper at a therapeutic level of 2ppm he's a picture of velvet for comparison @Liddojunior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
