Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Does anyone have experience with wasting disease. I had a zebra that began swimming erratically and refusing to eat. After a week or two the weight loss was significant. I had to put her down.
I have noticed my red wagtail platy, (the pig of the tank) is not eating and looking a bit smaller and less active.
From what I have read it looks like wasting disease or fish TB. Does anyone know of any treatments? I do not have a hospital tank so if I do treat it will have to be all of the fish.
I do not think she is too far gone at this point. I have added some salt to the water and increased the oxygen.
Any suggestions would be appreciated she is a favorite fish of my kids and I would hate to loose her.
