Any thoughts gratefully acknowledged
had a male trifasciata that has slowly wasted over 10-14 days whilst intially looking like eating, though perhaps not actually swallowing
would often spit or lose food particles through gill
Never got feacals
Treated for worms with levamisol intially
Then dosed with metronidazol impregnated food
Always seemed to behave normally , 5 days ago had erect scales on cd half of body,they resolved in 24 hrs
Last ditch was broad spec antibacterial type remedy
No other fish appeared ill (cories/hatchets/bolivian rams)
Today can not see male fish in tank , nor body in tank, is heavily planted
Female trifasciata has been looking fat and in the last 48hrs has shown mid dropsy type appearance ie erect scales , still eating very well and active
Comments please
Thanks
Andrew
