Hello

My water parameter:

PH: 7,6
Ammonia : 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrates: 0
Salinity: 1.005

Tank size :30

Change 50% of water weekly
Set up for a year, cycled it without fish in it.

I have GSP that won't poop, but it's belly sinks in after 6 -7 hours after feeding, i've had it for a year too.
It's color have change on it's belly to greyish and it's only breathing from one gill. There's not any problem with the appetite.Sometimes he will also throw up the food i've given him.I give him snails every other day, blood worms and he's been getting a lot of gammarus shrimp lately. He also seem to have a caugh, and breaths pretty heavily. I have no idea what it could be.
Anyone do?

Check out the article on internal parasites, in our Library.

What size is the tank?

Says 30g.

^ oh. I totally missed that o.o;;

then yeah. I'd say treat for IPs and see how that goes.

nitrate reading 0? Can't see that being right given the water change regime....

what test kits are you using? Are they indate? There should usually be some sort of nitrate reading, even if it's low...


worming your fish seems like a good udea though.
