Just got this fish about 3 weeks ago from a store that keeps copper in tanks for diseases and gets from a reputable local breeder. All tank conditions are stable besides some Dino’s that I’m working on ridding with silicate dosing and UV. Added a second bag of carbon and ordered a microscope to see if it’s the toxin Dino’s. Just started acting weird today in a spot not normally in. Noticed some discoloration, but resolved later in the day and she will not eat. Have ruby red on the way as well just in case. Should I put her in other tank that just finished cycling incase of low oxygen? Also made sure to have lots of agitation.

Alk 8
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 2
Phos barely detectable now

 
Fins clamped, wobbly swim pattern and loss of color suggests early Brooklynella and copper wont cure this. Treat with Ruby Rally Pro and Ruby takes a little longer and initial treatment generally takes 2-3 days to really start going to work.

Ruby on the way, been about 14 hours since I noticed. No progression. Actually, seemed to get better.
