I just got a freshwater dolphin Saturday. I believe it is a mormyrus longirostris and today it was breathing EXTREMELY rapidly. It is in a 20g with 2 small geos and a gatf and the tank is highly oxygenated by an airstone placed under a powerhead to break the bubbles up even more to break more surface area.
Params are:
Temp 82F
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate <0.5
What should I do? I read that high nitrates and low O2 can cause this but I don't think that's causing this. It ate a lot of live blackworms yesterday and today it ate some but not as much.
