Hi guys,
One my new discus is breathing quite fast and only out of one gill it's weird though because he is showing his colour beautifully, he is never hiding and is always with the other discus, he doesn't have any clamped fins, he is eating very well, he is not scratching, dashing, or flashing, none of the other fish have it? As a matter of fact he is still showing signs of trying to pair up?
He was shipped to me about 3 days ago so maybe he could just have a sore gill from the shipping? He did have it slightly clamped when i released him into my aquarium. Since then i have treated aquarium with formalin and a little bit if salt and it seems to have done okay because this morning the big guy was breathing normally aswell as using his gills normally again but just after lunch he clamped it again.
The only symptoms is he is breathing fast and is only really breathing out if one gill?
Please help i don't know whats wrong.
