Hey everyone.
I've got a question about a couple of my Neon Tetras. A couple days ago 2 of my 9 started breathing extremely rapidly with no other signs of illness. They still were schooling with the others, and seemed to not be under any stress other than looking like they were gasping extremely hard.
To be safe, I set up a QT and moved them over to keep an eye on them. A third Neon had been hiding under my driftwood, and even though he was not breathing hard, I moved him over as well to be on the safe side since his behavior was slightly different from the others.
Two days later now, they are still breathing heavy in the QT (the third is breathing normally). Their gills look healthy, no spots or other physical symptoms at all.
Parameters are 0, 0, 5-10, pH-7.4, 75-76 degrees. They're housed with Red Eye Tetras, Danios, Otos, single Bolivian Ram, Amanos and RCS.
Any alternative ideas of what can cause rapid breathing with no other symptoms?
