My Tank Thread
I posted this on fish discussion forum but I wanted to see what the disease experts thought too. I newly acclimated angelfish, less than 24 hours and he has been breathing very heavy since I received him. He went through a 35 minute methlyn blue bath and then 2 hour rally bath. Last night he was more at the surface of the tank but today he is hanging more at the bottom.
There is more than plenty of aeration in the QT, I placed him in a sterile tank with plenty of media from my Display and tims one and only. I will do large water changes interim. Ammonia alert badge reading 0ppm.
I have not treated the QT with any medications as he was already stressed out enough and in bad shape upon arrival. I thought he had ammonia poisoning initially from the package he arrived in so I did a fast drip acclimation for approx 45 min.
His coloring looks great and there are no visible signs of parasites.
Any advice or words of wisdom?
much appreciated!
