Hi,
last nite i saw 1 of my new fish with cotton like hanging out of its nostrel and it was flared up and that has gone this morning but 1 of my bigger fish is breathing heavily from his right gill only and the left 1 was shut. i treated the tank last nite with prazi and this morning his breathing is quite slower now and there is some small movment in the left gill. All my water parameters are fine i checked them last night. He hasnt gone pale at all and is swimming in the group fine. I will do a 25% wc in 48hr and redose after 7 days. Anything else i can do or is this even gill flukes. what everyones thoughts. the fishies are only 1 day old in my tank.

at discus temperatures you may have to re dose in 3-4 days and not one week. i suggest dose on day 1 , 4 and 7.

I think let them settle in to their new tank. I wouldnt be medicating . JMO Its only been one day. Maybe the fish is just stressed abit. Cooking or Rock Salt at a rate of 1 teaspoon per 40 litres to help the fish relax.

cheers
