Issue with my Zebra Danio s ...

[Q&Q]

HI,
I am having 200 + Zebra danio s with me in planted & suddenly they faced some issues...
* Not eating properly..
* Swim upside down & sideways .
* Body started getting crooked in some of fish.
* stays on bottom of the tank.
* seems breathing difficulties .

I thought it is due to ICH ( i didn't see any white spot of them ) & i did salt treatment , anti parasite treatment, methylene blue treatment & continual water changes ...Still it is not showing any improvement & number of deaths are increasing. Since i cant see dead fish properly have removed plants also from tank.....

when i separated couple of fish to a glass i can sew sides of the fish bit abnormal too... ( pls see the pic attached)
Can anyone pls help me on this to identify & fix the issue ....

Looks like dropsy. Move to a at tank and add kanamycin and Epsom sat at 1 tbsp per 5g. Lower the water level so it can stay upright. Clean water. Best of luck.

HI, I did the epsom salt treatment. But i was not able to find the "kanamycin". cant i use any antibiotic like amoxicillin as substitute ?

Try maracyn2 or furan2. Something broad spectrum. Need something with gram negative coverage.

See if u can find something broad spectrum
Like triple sulfa, maracyn2 or furan2.

@ kno4te
HI.... Thanks a lot for your support. really appreciate.. I started said medications & was able to save some fish in my tank. Anyway I was soo late to start this medication & was trying on other stuff as I mentioned in my previous update...

Also I was not able to find our said antibiotics (kanamycin ,maracyn2 or furan2 ), but I used amoxicillin

currently remaining fish are eating & getting active , in recovering mode. hope they will be fine soon.

I didn't brought any new fish or new plants to my tank. So I was wondering what could be the reason for this sickness . Any idea for that ? so i could avoid the same in future.
