Aquarium Advice Freak
Hey y'all -
I've been having some concerns about my red cap oranda. Firstly, he lost a number of scales being overly-rambunctious in the gravel...I changed the aquarium set-up a bit (there's a swim-through cave he really likes...but he's getting too big for it..so I set it up so there's a little more room), and did a salt treatment while the scales healed.
Now he seems to be suffering from a severe case of lethargy...actually LAYING on the gravel (which I've never seen him do). I thought maybe he was a little backed up...so i did peas, and then fasting for 2 days. Poop looks normal. But he's just sitting there! In the corner!
When I walk up to the tank, he'll swim up...but then goes back to sitting. I don't see any ich, or any other sign of infection...breathing seems normal, and his other tank buddies are chipper as usual.
Any ideas? Tank params are normal (no NH3 or NO2, 'ates around 20).
Thanks guys!
