Jellymeat Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Today my siamese fighter was rubbing on the rocks and drift wood. He seems to be missing some scales on the same side as he was rubbing. Only saw him doing this for one short period. I am going to get my water tested tomorrow. Is this anything to be worried about and if so what are some remedies to do. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Please keep a close eye on him, if you notice his head dropping down like he's looking for something on the bottom of the tank, its a bad sign. Just before mine died, his gut turned white. Not white spots, the scales changed colour. From seeing him start to rest on the driftwood more often to him having his head down was about an hour. An hour after that he was dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Gill sulked maybe? They rub when something agitates them. Maybe some sort of parasite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 what are some remedies to do. A 25% water change might make him feel a bit better, it's a good start anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxximuscool Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Damn mine is doing it last night. So I mixed a bucket of water this morning and will do water change when I get home. He keep darting at random objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
