datnoid laying on side

[McPhishy]

My indo datnoid is laying on his side. All my other indos are doing fine. Should I just start a big water change? Little guy is still trying to swim every now and then.

My small (<5") indos pose in all different types of positions. Never anything wrong with them - anything to indicate otherwise?

Welcome to the Datnoid SDS. If they are less than 5" then they sometime die for no reasons.

SDS is a crock. No such thing as they "just die".

Now another one is dead. Did a 50% water change yesterday to try to save the first one. Water stats all zero. Whats freaking happening?

 

[vaine111]

Check their gills. Might have some flukes in them. If not you might want to get some kind of antibiotic like tetracycline.

Well the water stats should not be all 0. Do you mean just nitrates and ammonia is 0? DO you have the liquid test kit where you put drops in the test tubes? because that is the kind you need. You need to be testing for nitrate, nitrite, ammoina, ph all of that stuff!
