Pacu Listing to One Side
wrote,
I will look into the gill parasites and flukes more... Is one Pectoral fin being held tight against it's body - could be the start of a parasite called Costia. An early symptom is little red hemorrhages (blood spots under scales) just below the pectoral fin (fin on side of fish). The fish holds the fin tight against it's body while the other pectoral fin on the other side of it's body still works - the fish tilts to one side. Treated with QuickCure or any other formaldehyde/malachite green anti-parasite medication... How about constipation - see any stool (fish waste)? A teaspoon of Epsom Salts per 5 gals. makes a good purgative and won't harm the other fish... Still thinking at this end - any changes yet? ................. Frank

Frank which fin / tail controls them being upright? Also any chance he got injured on anything, mine used to bang into the tank if he got scared, anything sharp in the tank (fake plant/rocks). Nik

any stool so will give the Epson Salts a try too. Thanks.
