Hi,
So I’m am in the process of upgrading my tank. I bought a neon dotty back to go in there while it cycles or startes to build up more Bactria. I used an old sponge so it’s already cycled.
There is no ammonia. Not sure about nitrates but can’t be to much since it’s been only 2 days since it has been set up with all new water.
So he is a the bottom of the tank which is normal for a dotty back but he is just laying there breathing pretty heavy. I don’t see any noticeable diseases like ich or flukes. But he does have some darkness in the middle by intestines. Not like a spot or anything more like a smudge or mark i guess. I also noticed some streaks by his fins not sure if it normal for a neon dottyback. He was eating normal earlier in the day. So not sure what is going on.
Only thought is velvet? Since it’s rapid but idk. I don’t see anything on him but i know sometimes with velvet there is no symptoms.
