I've been having a lot of trouble with my dats lately. First I had fungus, then I had the "disease", then ick, now I dont know what my dats have. One of my Indo's trying to stand on its head and is very pale in color. His gills are red and is breathing heavy. I only noticed him scratching again this morning but had to work a double and thought that it was fungus or something. I already have salt in the tank and a heater set at 85. This has cured everything else but Every now and then my dats would scratch but then stop. The dat is considered a scaleless fish right? I only have medicine that says not to use on scaleless and treats gill flukes. Do I use it or try something else. I'm thankfull for all the support I get and for the prior support. Thanks again.
 
I saw it coming. There was nothing I could do left. It stopped breathing and I freaked. I held my fish in the current and it died in my hand. I'm just worried for the other two dats in the tank. They seem ok but I'm just real paranoid. The loss of my dat is like my dog dying. This sucks.:cry:

Sorry about your loss.
 
Not sure what causes gill parasites but Prazipro take care of gill flukes and stuff like that.
