NTT breathing very rapidly

[andres]

After a water change last night, one of my NTT's was breathing very rapidly.

I woke up this morning and he was a goner


He was just under 4" and normally healthy. First time he's ever freaked out during a W/C and he never really settled down.

Sorry to hear about ur loss...I had the same thing happen to me with 5 Ntt's...They didn't die after wc tho..They did have the heavy breathing tho...I was able to save 1 of mine by treating him with Mardel Coppersafe. When u notice the heavy breathing u have to treat right away or u will lose it very quickly.

I learned my lesson, and now when I buy new Ntt's I qt them with meds to prevent this from happening...Havn't lost any since I started doing this.
