In my 75 gallon, I have noticed that some of my fish are flashing. It started 2 weeks ago when I got some new corydoras from my LFS. Only one of the corys has been flashing, as far as I can tell. I have seen a cory, bolivian ram, 4 of my platys, and my rainbow shark flash. I got some new platys 4 days ago, and 3 of the new ones I have seen flash. No other visible signs of sickness as far as I can tell.
Total stock is:
10 Harlequin Rasboras,
17 Cardinal Tetras,
12 Platys (8 FM, 4 M),
8 Green Corydoras,
3 FM Swordtails,
6 Otocinclus,
3 Mystery Snails,
2 Bolivian Rams,
2 Angelfish,
and 1 Rainbow shark.
I keep the tank at 78 degrees F. and do 1 50-70% pwc every 6-10 days. I tested my water today: ammo 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 0? I don't know why the nitrate tested as 0. I re-tested today, and also got 0 for nitrate. I am guessing that I am not doing it correctly.
How do I cure the flashing? More frequent pwcs? I am going to do a 70 % water change in a little bit.
Thanks in advance!
