Your tank comes in around 54 litres, less 10% for decor and gravel so about 48 litres. This is too small (I'm so sorry) for these types of fish and I would suspect water quality being the problem as opposed to GBD to strat with. See linky here: http://www.fishkeeping.co.uk/articles ... -size-life-expectancy.htm Ideally fancies need 140 litres for the first fish and certainly given this bruiser's size, external filtration. In smaller tanks, they swim in their own waste and this causes all manner of illnesses. Daily 25% pre warmed, pre treated water changes will assist and will only certainly help until you can upgrade his home if possible. |
