please throw me some advice / wisdom - sick parrot?!

[ronnieroach]

hello all,

one of my parrots, a panda parrot now baseball size, is orange but his back bottom fin is turning a slight whiteish tint. i assume its due to aging / growth. also, his back fin seems to be a blueish inbetween the lines, but its pretty not gross. he has also, just tonight, started twitching every 10-15 mins very slightly.

he eats fine & doesnt show any fin damage or white fuzzy spots. & his scales are gorgeous. also, my parameters are perfect.

quick recent history:
i have a pair of parrots, a gold severum & a kribensis. everyone is healthy looking fin / scale wise. i had 2 kribensis but 1 had a white spot on fin. i treated w/ melafix & pimafix & once healed, a friend took the previously sick krib.

now its the 4 fish & everyone else is cool except my parrot.

I'm fairly sure the white / mild blue in his fins is natural / him aging but if anyone knows otherwise, pleaaase fill me in.

he has no signs of rot & no marks, just the light twitch here & there basically.

well if anyone has read all of this and isnt sleeping yet, can you try & help a guy out?

all help is apreciated

thanks

I remember this thread, didn't you have another one about this? But anyway, how long have you had the fish? Is it getting picked on at all?

 

[HUKIT]

Do you have any pictures?

 

[ronnieroach]

never had parrot probs before so i dont think it was me.

& no he's not getting picked on, they're all very harmonious.

i probably cant get a good pic of his fin since i dont have a nice camera but ive noticed his belly is turning white too so its basically just the twitching issue.

other than amonia, what could cause a fish twitch? lol

 

[ronnieroach]

i did just post this twice tho

 

[ronnieroach]

omg im horrible..

HES ABOUT A YEAR OLD, i think :-/

When you say twitching what do you mean, like a seizure or is the fish rubbing against objects in the tank? What are your water parameters at? Twitching can be parasites, poor water conditions, or even certain dechlorinators.

 

[ronnieroach]

the twitch is like a VERY mild seisure.. my oscar had a similar twitch after my surgery when the amonia spiked cuz i couldnt clean.

tested yesterday:
ph 6.8-7
amonia 0
nitrates 0

i have the neutrafin bio stuff, which ive added since i did a water change from medicating w/ the mela & pimafix.. i was thinking maybe get some stress coat for the chloromites??

he did have a mild fin rot along w/ my sick krib about a week/2 ago but hes healthy looking as can be now (minus the mild twitching)

whatcha think?

I HAVE ATTATCHED A FEW PICTURES OF MY PARROT!! (they have a little glaire on his face/body from my other tank) but his fins / scales / gils appear to be healthy.

he hasnt twitched at all today, & i've been watching him & the others all day.

he does seem to be hiding A LOT!

& where the net usually spooks him into shooting around, i had it in taking out an algae disc RIGHT next to his face & he didnt move at all. seems odd.

again, my parameters are good so could it be from medicating the past 2 weeks?

OR AM I JUST A PSYCO & HES FINE?!?

i hate how much i love my fish :/

Looks healthy to me, just keep the water clean and monitor his behavior.
