tuculover Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hey all, I've had a pair of super reds for a couple weeks now and just lost my male. In the last three days or so he started gulping a lot like he couldn't breathe. Tried general cure yesterday but unfortunately didn't seem to be enough. The female looks like she may be doing it as well. The tank is well established and has a few danios and corys that look to be doing fine. Parameters ok, soft water and low pH (6.7). Any thoughts? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It could low level of desolved oxygen or gill flukes add an extra air stone and treat with API general cure if it's gill flukes it might take 2or3 Couse of treatment to get rid of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuculover Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Thanks. My guess was flukes as well, the tank is only 20 gallons with air and a hob. Unfortunately I must not have started the meds early enough. I'll keep on it for the female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
