Hi there, can someone help with a diagnosis please? I've gone through the Handbook of Fish Diseases flow chart and I'm still not sure.
Set up:
37 gallon bowfront tank
SunSun canister filter
Fully cycled tank, ammonia and nitrites = 0, Nitrates = 5, pH = 7.5, temp = 75
Tank running for about a year with regular water changes
Current stock: 6 tetra glofish
Nothing new added
One of my blue glofish has a sudden onset of a disease or injury (see pictures and video). He is a bit lethargic compared to the others but seems to be eating fine as of this morning. He's swimming normally and not at the surface gasping for air.
I did have 6 otos when I first set the tank up a year ago, but they all died one by one over the year and I was never sure why. They got plenty to eat and never looked sick. It's possible that they had a disease I didn't recognize and the glofish caught it by nibbling on a dead oto before I could get it out of the tank. The last oto died about a month ago.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!
