Hi,
I have a ten gallon tank that is undergoing a little disaster. I have a
dwarf Gourami, 3 platys, 1 danio and i added a blue ram to the community
about a week ago. All of the sudden one of the platys, the danio and the
blue ram are not doing so good. The danio is very bloated, to the point that
her spine is curved and she can't really swin very well. The platy hangs out
at the bottom of the tank all day, except for at feeding time, during which
he's voracious! The blue ram seemed to be doing well at first (except he was
a bit shy), now he's hanging out at the bottom of the tank as well and he is
definately not eating. He also seems to be breathing quite fast. I tested
ammonia, nitrates and pH. The first two tests show normal levels (zero for
both). Ph is around 6.8 but i have been working with ph regulators to bring
it back to neutral.
Any ideas on what the problem is? Anyway way i can save some of the sick
fish? I honestly don't know what to do or if to treat the whole tank. They
all seem to have different problems.
Please help!
