Hi all,
Something has happened to one of my fish (a milky white carp), otherwise very fit so far, in my 65 gallons tank which has 2 golds, 6 Zebra danios, two small pleccos and (two guppies - a wrong combination, I know) in addition to this fish.
Today all of a sudden this fish started behaving weird, which gives a feeling that it has died and starts floating freely. I immediately changed around 80% -water and cleaned the filter (as the same was also due --last changes was done around 4 weeks back some 40% water ).
In the evening it again seemed like perfectly healthy and played well with other gold fishes; basically ran a lot and played a chasing game, then again it became unconscious after 2 hours in which it seems like semi-conscious,intermittently swimming randomly and unstably taking rotations and the floating freely again like a dead fish.
What has happened?? What can I do now to fix this problem.
Please watch the video completely at below URL:
The tank has been up with me since September 2014 and this and all other fishes came at that time only except one of the pleccos (which came around a month back).
I maintained a constant temperature of 20C throughout inorder to maintain a sweet spot of the requirements of the tropical fishes (zebra danios, pleccos and guppies) and the gold fishes. Fed everyday once in the morning only.
Thanks,
PraveenK
