Did more research and I think I may have what is called septicemia.
Mumma.of.two said:How's it going? Lost anymore?
fishdud said:I lost a black neon tetra this morning. Went to the store to buy a bottle of water conditioner and maracyn 2. It says it treats septicemia so I'm gonna add that after a water change and some salt. See if that works. I've lost half of what was in my tank.
Mumma.of.two said:That sucks. Let's hope the treatment works. You've got something nasty going on in there so you gotta hit it with all you got. Good luck!
Mumma.of.two said:Check for ammonia and nitrite also.
Mumma.of.two said:He does look bloated. You could try a salt bath and feeding a pea. Your doing pretty much everything you can at the moment.
fishdud said:Thanks, It's hard but not giving up. Ammonia looks like It's at 0.50 ppm. That's not good but I read yesterday that maracyn 2 can cause ammonia spikes. Nitrites at 0
Mumma.of.two said:Yes, it will do that. It can kill off BB. Since you can't do a water change at the moment you can dose the whole tank with prime to convert it.
Keep fighting!
