Long story short: my bichir is on a death bed floating upside down but still breathing and moving once in a while. He's definitly on his last leg.
Short story long I had a clown knife fish, bichir, and recently added a florida gar. The clown knife was the first too go. It stopped eating, became very lethargic and developed a red spot near it's tail. One day I came home and it was floating at the top of the tank
Fast forward a couple months and now the bichir has stopped eating, has no signs of red spots (although the tail area is somewhat redder than the front of the body and there is a very faint black dot near the tail), is very lathargic, and is now floating upside down at the bottom of the tank. I have a feeling it's a bacterial infection with a possible blockage in intestinal track. I'm preparing to euthanize the bichir as I type this but my concerns now rest on the gar. Should I prazi-pro this fish to preven bacterial infections. HELP, whatever is happening is reeking HAVOC on this tank
