That's terrible.
You better get some fenbendazole and treat your tank.
It's fairly easy and harmless.
The only trick is weighing it.
I used a digi gram scale and bought it from a Koi pond supplier.

I loss many thin bars to the symptons you describe. Its not gill flukes. I feel its something else. More on the line of Kidney desease, leading to adominal dropsey. If it was flukes, I could cure it no problem.

I've lost a few nice thinbars to the ailment that i thought was flukes.Once the heavy gasping starts its usually too late.I have saved one with meds.
