Hi there,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Video for viewing symptoms here ... ---- > https://drive.google.com/open?id=11pk4uaWGyot6dgUkeyZ1iiTUUU9fsT79
The Congo in question is at the bottom of the group at the start of the video - easy to spot - the gasping one.
His jaw must be so sore it's been going on for perhaps 5 days now. He is a little less interested in eating as the other 5 but still has a nibble. Whether he's actually ingesting is difficult to tell.
He seems to have no other symptoms, color is good he's still fairly fat.
55Gallon
PH 7.5ish
Zero ammonia, nitrites and nitrates.
KH 3
GH is hard to tell - the colour didn't change, it just starts off light yellow/green and gets darker and darker as I add drops. I'm wondering if my GH is zero !
I perform weekly 20% water changes.
Anyway I know this fish is not so well and I'm wondering what to do. Thanks for any suggestions. I have metronidazole on hand from a previous successful Cichlid treatment but that is all the med's I have currently.
Worth noting roughly a month ago I lost quite a few newly introduced Harlequin Rasboras of which some showed white mouths, with only one showing any other white areas (on the spine). Some showed no symptoms and still died. When this settled I introduced another 15 Harlequins from a different supplier and they have all survived. I wonder if this Congo has picked up the same disease and is now fighting it. He's about 6months old, a great size and shape - it would be sad to lose him.
Thanks again for any time invested to help me and my congo out. And happy to provide any further info that may help.
