We really need some advice for one of our 3 Yo-yo loaches.
1- Some days ago, we noticed that it began to scratch against the gravel between scavaging for food. Now, it is almost always hiding, rarely eats and scratches even more, mostly on one side and on the middle of its body. No other signs like white spots or anything else visible.
2- Ph:7,5 / Nitrite and ammonia:0 / nitrate:10 mg (we have no other tests)
3- Tank:30 gal / set up: 1 month
4- Internal box filter with 300 gph
5- 7 fish: 1 opaline gourami (2,5 inches), 2 dwarf gouramis (2 and 1,5 inches), 3 Yo-yo loaches (1,5 inches each), 1 pleco (2,5 inches)
6- Last water change: 3 days ago / water changes: once a week - 25%
7- We got the fish 10 days ago - we acclimated it gradually for 30 min while adding aquarium water and netted it into the fish tank
8- We haven't added anything new
We have started yesterday with SERA Costapur treatment for ich and other parasites as indicated by the manufacturer. A 100 ml of SERA Costapur contains: potassium iodide 2,5 mg, malachite green oxalate 105 mg, aqua purificata ad 100 ml.
Please, we need some advice....
