Hi, I've had this guy in my QT for three weeks in Paraguard at recommended dose.
Was fine for the first two weeks, then he started being a bit lethargic, laying on the bottom and darting to the top. Heavy breathing.
First thought was flukes, so I did a 5 min FW dip. He acted fine in the dip and I did not see any flukes come off. Wondering if it's velvet as his skin looks kind of patchy. All other fish in the QT look okay.
However he quickly went further down hill after the dip and has since just laid on his side breathing heavily.
I dropped the salinity to 1.018 over 12 hours or so and temperature to 22c to try and increase the oxygen content.
Any help very much appreciated!
