Hello
My poor little black moore is in very bad shape. He has curved his small body and has sunk to the bottom of the tank lying on one side and breathing very slowly like once every 5-10 seconds. Please help if you have any suggestions. He is about 1 year old and ~ 1.5 inch long. He is in a hospital tank now and I have added 0.5 teaspoons of salt per gallon. There is an air filter and I am changing the water in the morning and at night. (Actually I have two tanks so each tank's water is aged 12 hours before he is moved into it). He was looking healthy and really energetic last week but his sudden sickness started two days ago. His condition is almost stable or maybe getting a little worse very slowly. He had a series of bad luck. First when I added some medicine for my other fish he thought it is food and ate a lot of the medicine while it was still floating on the water surface. The med was for rotten fin and it is called NITROFURA-G, see http://petgeneral.safeshopper.com/46/440.htm?536 . Before that he may not have been eating for a few days since it looked like the other fish didn't let him eat. Unfortunately I had not noticed this. Any way yesterday, when he was still in the original tank, I noticed that the water filter had sucked him (almost) in. It seemed that he had lost his energy and maybe while he was swiming in the vicinty of the filter he was not able to fight the water succsion. I think he was in that situation before I saved him. I am sure that has stressed him a lot as well. Any way he has been in the hospital tank since then and my only resolution right now is to keep the water quality superb and the rest to his immune system take over. Please provide any suggestions that you might have. Thank you in advance. Mazir |
