Hi everyone,
I had another thread you may have seen regarding Neon Tetras with odd behavior gasping heavily while still acting normally and schooling with the others. At the time there were no other symptoms other than the heavy breathing.
I initially moved 3 of my 9 into QT for observation treating only with aquarium salt. After a few days the remaining Neons in my DT began the same odd breathing patterns and were all moved into QT where I started a regiment of Macaryn because one of the fish showed signs of pop-eye.
In the last 24 hours 2 of the 9 have died, and an ice bath is currently being prepared in my freezer for a third who is stuck to the filter intake.
Other than the 3 who have met their end, 5 of the remaining six have also developed the gasping and I feel it is only a matter of time before there are 0 remaining.
I suspect NTD since there seem to be so many random symptoms associated with that disease, yet I'm not 100% sure of the diagnosis.
I'm willing to try a hail-mary pass since it seems there is virtually no hope for the remaining Tetras. Unfortunately, I'm also considering euthanizing the others as soon as their symptoms get worse instead of waiting for them to die against the filter intake like the others.
Other than Macaryn and aquarium salt, do you have any recommendations of other treatments?
BTW, parameters are 0-ammo, 0-no2, 5-no3, pH-7.4, temp-75 degrees
