He still is hiding today, only came out once. When he was out he was diving against the gravel, like he was scratching himself
Yes he is flashing because of the ich . Keep up with the water changes and vacuum the gravel like was stated earlier.
same thing happened to me, i noticed tht they start to scratch themselves on the gravel so i did a small water change, and add anti-white spot which is blue. guess i add too much then turned the whole tank blue haha my promising male was shocked by the sudden chnge of environment and he just go really stressed. stress bars coming out at first but then the next day he just turned very dark and just sits at the bottom corner of the tank. it was so frustrating to se him very active a few days ago then becoming like that haha soo yea, i did partial 30% water changes every 2 days, until the blue colour slowly becomes dilute. he was eating but i didnt feed him cuz his colours really fade up and i didnt want any internal parasites to attack him. after about 1 week of water changes he recovered. got his kok back. im happy haha
Is he eating yet? If he hasn't ate for several days then I would assume parasites as well as the ick. But if he's eating then I wouldn't worry about that yet. Just do as other have instructed and keep temp up for several days and keep up on water changes and a good salt regiment
Hes starting to eat a tiny bit. He ate one pellet today. What do I do for parasites?
Ok so he has been out swimming the last 2 days but he still isnt eating. Should I try something else? No white stringy poops or anything. (Someone suggested it was a parasite)
is he even active? if he is skttish then he would prbbly just be stressed out. if my fish are stressed i wouldnt feed them too much. water changes should do.
