I have 3 panda cories and I noticed just today that one of them is laying completely flat on the top of a rock and was breathing quite hard. By laying flat, I mean completely down. Not like a starwars speeder but like trying to ride a kiddy pool down the street (don't know where that came from) Her back and top fin are a bit torn. Her whiskers are droopy and there are small red patches on her nose. What should I do? medicate? quarantine?
 
both put it in a hospital tank and find the colperate. what are the tank mates? what's your substrate? go out and get some melafix.
 
Giant danios, yoyo loaches, and some baby yellow lab cichlids. I have gravel. I don't have a hospital tank but my dad has a tank that might be okay
 
Do you know the water parameters of your tank? (ammonia, nitrIte, nitrAte, pH, temperature). How long has the tank been set up?
 
Yeah... I kind of knew my labs attacked it. Probobally the male. The other ones are really submissive. My water parameters are no2 none. no3- 20ppm. Ammonia- none. It's not the water. Should I just see if this happens again and if so return the labs
