Hi,
just yesterday I realised that my juvenile oscar was acting weirdly. He's usually very active and the first to grab at food when I feed, however he's just been sitting at the bottom of the tank at a 45 degree angle and not moving. When he does move, he's just floating around instead of swimming and he hasn't eaten anything for 2 days. I've checked and no visible parasites on the skin and my ammonia/nitrite readings are both 0 with nitrates at 20ppm. He also seems to be breathing normally. The other fish in the tank (1 parrot, 1 green terror and 2 polys) are all acting normal and feeding. Can anyone suggest a course of action?
I recently lost a indo datnoid in the same tank, and before he died he was also lying at the bottom of the tank but looked as though he had trouble breathing.
