Help!!! My peacock bass keeping dying.... my water parameters are spot on. Ph is 7.4 nitrites 0 ammonia 0 nitrates 30
I noticed that the colors began fading starting with the stripes. Then the colors on the body darken to a dark gray color. Then eventually they die within 2-4 days of when the stripes begin fading. It's only my peacock bass that are affected. I have a silver arowana a gar a jack dempsey and a 2 tiger shovel nose catfish. I've lost 3 peacock bass so far from this illness. All of them are 5 inches or less. I have 3 left. I separated 2 into a 55 gallon and attempted to medicate them using api parasite meds. But one of them died. I'm half way through the medication period and I have 1 left. I'm feeling hopeful for the other one because he's lived past 4 days but I'm still fearful he's not gonna make it. I have 2 more peacocks that aren't looking affected but I'm scared eventually they are gonna get it too. It seems that they are contracting it when they get past the 4 inch zone. In total I have 3 peacocks left and I really don't want to lose them... please help.
