Hi,

I have two 7 year old Orandas in a 120 gal pond. One of them was swimming upside down a few days ago. I did a water change and treated with Seachem kanaplex. Today she was inert laying on the bottom of the pond. I put her in a hospital tank and added aquarium salt as well as more Kanaplex.

Her fins show red from bleeding near the body. After transport, there was a red streak on her side. She is normally the healthiest of the two fish in the pond.

I tested water today with the API master kit and got these readings:

PH - 8
Ammonia - .25
Nitrites - .25
Nitrates - 0

I did add Seachem Prime a few hours before testing.

Any help is appreciated.

Are those the tests from the QT or the pond?

Does the bleeding look to be from some kind of infection or a wound?

Maybe a photo would help.
