Hello Everyone,
I bought 2 small dats 2 weeks ago from my lfs ( they had them for 1 month ). One of them is super active and colorfull the other one is lethargic and bland ( but only after i brought him home ). They are both 3 inches ( the one thats sick is a tiny bit smaller ). He has been breathing fast ever sence ive got him he has been breathing fast. but 3 days ago he started breathing faster and being more lethargic and stoped eating alot. his inner gill cover ( the clear one ) turned a lil less transparent and th has a lil white sploch on his fin. I was treating him with maracyn 2 but changed it to tetracyclin. do u think it could be gill flukes or bacterial. oh and he is in my 10 gal quarintine tank with a half dose of salt.
