Hi all
After advice on a mysterious illness. I’ve lost over 10 Rainbowfish (several varieties) in the last 2 days. I introduced 15 in just before this and have lost several of these as well as several I’ve had long term.
I’m assuming it’s an illness but it’s affecting them so quickly!
They will start by gasping (lower in the tank) and then be dead within the hour. No physical signs of illness except red gills and the gasping.
Water parameters are spot on.
Tank temp is spot on.
Water change 35% completed yesterday.
Any advice on treatment would be great! Currently using ick treatment (I know I shouldn’t as there is no signs of ich) but I’m hoping with malachite green can slow down any sickness.
Tankmates are clown Loaches, bristlenoses and Corydoras who are all fine!View attachment 1
