Aquarium Advice Freak
I'm having an issue with my pacific blue eyes, ive lost 3 in the last few days and 1 a week or so ago ( all males ) and by the look of it, im about to lose another, i also lost a Celebes rainbow about 2 weeks back and a SAE this morning, ive come to notice the rapid breathing and basically swimming on the spot are the tell tale signs, i notice it in the morning and by the time i get home from work, theyre gone. All the other fish seem to be going about their business as usual
