Hi,
I am new to discus breeding, this is the first successful batch of 22 fry and they are now 35 days old.
Yesterday I did a thorough cleaning of the tank by scraping all sides of the tank. This morning I found one baby laying on the bottom breathing hard. I did a 70% water change (I do daily 70% water change) immediately and dosed some methelyne blue (@ about 5ml per 10 gallon). But still, some of the babies are less active than before even when I fed them. Some started staying in the corner facing the wall. Some have that "dashing" behavior as if something is irritating them. :(
What do I do to help prevent them from dying? :(
Water parameters (just checked this morning):
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
0 nitrate
ph 7.8
Here is how the 30 gallon tank looks like:
131794
