1. Please explain the problems with your fish/when and how they started
7 wild browns, 5" to 6" size, they were eating well and very strong, 3 weeks ago, some start became picky on food, so reduced feeding, later some scracth themselves a lot, eat less. one with one gill moving, stopped eating, treated with Prozi for one week, back to food again, but others got the same problem later, one not eating, others eat flakes, but less than before, some with one gill moving, sratch themsealves. I dosed Prozi 3 times in 2 weeks. no approvement in gill problem. raised the temp from 29 to 31 degrees, they seems more active, but no improvement on gills.

5. Water change regime/ how long has tank been running/ bare bottom or gravel/ do you age your water?
