Before jumping the gun at GBD though, given his rather small home, I think it would be wise to rule out water parameters as poor water quality causes about 99% of the fish problems/ill health that we see here. You don't indicate tank L x H x W which will help us to work out water volume but a fluval 2 isn't really big enough to deal with the amounts of waste these fishies create  Can you post readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH? How often do you undertake water changes and how much? Are these pre warmed? The feeding regime is a bit minimal, once every three days isn't enough really but I appreciate some keepers try to maintian water quality by cutting back food. In a suitable sized home with plenty of water dilution and good external filter, twice a day would be usual  Apologies, lot's of questions I know but it really does help  |
