Ismart120 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 http://imgur.com/rqJRCaf,XcQ1tbA#0 This is the blerb that came with the photos: He has some redness on fins, and very red gils (although this might be normal?) He has a ghosting of white on his dorsal (back top?) fin and paleness of colour. He gets like this every few weeks for a few weeks, then goes back to normal for a week or 2, then relapses. But he's been like this for almost 2 months now. 30Gal Tank 7 Tetras 1 African Dwarf Frog This ~6yr old Syno Catfish problems: -Not moving around tank as normal -Always upside down (though this isn't alarming, just much more than normal) -Barely eating (haven't seen in over 3 weeks) -Looks as if he struggles to breathe Temp: 68 Ph/Nitrates/Phos/ = ? I don't have a gauge, and will be going to Petsmart next week to get a test kit. Water Change: We rarely change the water, but after reading up, we've changed ~25% every 2 weeks. Sorry I'm a fish newb but rather attached to this one. Thoughts? I'm thinking ammonia attacking the gills but anythign else it might be? Def not in a good way in any case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Sounds like high nitrates or ammonia. 25% every 2 weeks is nowhere near enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
