 Topic: Black ice breathing rapidly, not eating
Posted: August 02 2012 at 10:14pm |
|
I have a female black ice clown. 4 months old, in a 34 gal rsm. Paired with another black ice clown and various other fish in tank. The clown has not eaten for over a week. Treated in lifeguard in QT for 5 days. Back in display, breathing rapidly, shows interest in wanting to eat briefly but won't eat. Now just listing on the bottom breathing very rapidly. Any ideas??? I want to save her, I've never lost a fish in over 1.5 years. I have furan for meds but that's it. Freshwater dip??

Im afraid it might be to late man... Sorry.. Usually when they are this far gone, anything (freshwater dip, moving to a qt tank) it usually will stress them out causing more sickness... Sorry...

This is more than a hobby; its a lifestyle.

No cleaner shrimp. She looks fine outwardly, no signs of any parasite or bacteria. She was treated for the five days in the lifeguard and actually looked ok, but wouldn't eat. I don't have an acc box but can put her back in qt

I hate to be the **** here but you should have never put it back in the display if it wasn't eating. The bottom line is if it won't eat it is still sick.
