I have a large angelfish that stopped eating and began breathing heavily at the surface. Stringy white poop and sunken belly. Gave Parasite Guard twice over a 4 day period, looked a bit healthier but still not better to tried a 3rd dose after a few days. Still no better, actually fins are looking more ragged. A second angelfish is now breathing very heavily and looks close to death. I tried General Cure yesterday but no change.
With respect to the other fish, some of the platys have a bit of a white sheen on them and have been clamped/flashing on and off. Others in the tank all look fine. This makes me think more of disease than environment, but there doesn't seem to be a response to treatment.
75 gallon tank has been running for ~1 year. Dual Eheim 2215's running with spray bars across each end providing surface agitation. I do weekly 50% WC. Tank is kept at 78F, have been checking parameters and they are consistently 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, ~5 nitrate.
I can't figure this out -- anyone have an idea?
