GeeTee Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 On checking my fish this morning I noticed my Brichardi was a bit off colour,literally.Instead of the nice light brown it normally is it was very dark and swimming with head up tail down. There was no sign of injury or anything else visual just appeared to be in a fair bit of trouble. It has been Q and treated with Melafix and is still alive now. Any ideas on what the problem may be? I have had the fish for 3 months and has been a great specimen,not a problem 'till now. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandWilly Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 does he appear to be bloated at all??? also have you tested the water, these guys are very sensitive to ammonia, we just lost 100+ of them through over feeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTee Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Doesn't appear to be bloated,spending a lot of time on its side now though. The water is fine,only tested it on the weekend and did a small change. Everything else in the tank is fine as well. The only thing different was the water change was done with river water not rain water and I changed the water in the Quarantine tank with river water as well,maybe that is the problem.It was only 15% change in the main tank. May be the thing. Might try it in another tank,somewhere,see if that helps. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
