Hulkson88 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I noticed this morning one of my ember tetras was swimming weirdly. I have a 29 gallon planted tank with some other common community fish. I noticed it was skinny and looked pale. I isolated it in a breeder box and put in a small amount of aquarium salt. It stopped swimming in the box for a second and almost go to the bottom before swimming again. What should I do and what is it. I have aquarium salt and the med trio on hand. Parameters 0ppm Ammonia and Nitrite 15-20ppm Nitrate 100ppm Hardness GH 100ppm Buffer KH 7.8 pH 0ppm Chlorine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 As you haven't added any new fish that could have bought in parasites possible bacterial infections with colour loss what I would do is quarantine if you can and do a course of kanaplex and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3 gallons @Hulkson88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
