Hey all. I am new to these forums, and new to fish keeping. I have a 20 gallon tank with three fish in it. A black moor, a calico, and a white and orange oranda.
The Oranda is what I am concerned about, because on his right side, he is missing a few scales all of the sudden, and he is not eating. It has only been two days of this, but like I said, I am new to fish keeping and I really don't know what to do.
I do water changes every week, add chemicals to lower the nitrites, nitrates, amonia, etc etc and even put salt in for stress relief.
My other two fish are doing great, so I really don't know what is going on with my oranda. Thanks for any and all help.
EDIT
I was actually just looking at him again, and noticed that when he breathes, his right gill doesn't move at all. He is not breathing through his right side gill, only his left. What could cause this!?
