My 4 inch tiger oscar has been breathing rapidly and not moving much the last 2 days.
tank Parameters:
ammonia: 0 ppm
nitrites: 0 ppm
nitrates: 10ppm
temp: 80
pH: 7.4
It's a 65 Gallon with a 15 gallon Sump (eshopps wet/dry) and has been running since April.
There are 6 Fish in the tank: Convict, Tiger Oscar, Tiger Barbs and BN Pleco
I did a 50% PWC yesterday, but he has remained in the same bad state. There are no spots or other external signs of parasites/cottonmouth that I am aware of.
NOTE - I had a firemouth that died from rapid breathing about 3 weeks ago. The Firemouth was doing extremely rapid breathing when he died, the oscar is doing very slow labored breaths. All other fish in the tank seem very lively and happy.
Please make some suggestions, so I can hopefully save my oscar, and any other fish if this is something that could spread.
