hey guys,
i have fry which are just over 2 weeks old. ders about 30-40 of them in a 20g tank with their parents.
anyways all has been goin smoothly except today and tonite ive noticed one or two fry lying down on the floor (bare bottom tank). looks like they are having trouble breathing. none have died as of yet
i suspect it was gill flukes as they tend to start infecting discus fry at this young age, so i added sterazin to the tank to treat it (only thing i could find).
so.. just wondering if my diagnosis is correct and if i am treating correctly, and if not, wat should i do instead, and if so, wat else can i do to prevent it as much as possible.
ooh.. let me add i also do 50% water changes daily, ph is 6.5 and obviously the tank must be established.
thanks for your help!
Chris
