A little place called C At Hell
Hello,

Earlier today I noticed that my male regani was looking ill.

He's sluggish (still fast enough to swim away from a net).

He's discolored, normally a light grey, but now his bands are showing and his dorsel is almost completely white. He does have a single black dot that recently showed up.

He's extremely fat, like he might have bloat, but he hasnt been eating. The female regani in the tank get a diet of mysis, krill, and diced silversides.

He's been hiding all the time, and is breathing heavy.

I did test the water, and the nitrates and ammonia were a little high, which I quickly adjusted media in my FX5 to counter and added some Prime to the tank.

No other fish in the tank is acting this way, and the ill fish will be moved to a quarantine tank tomorrow once I get home from work.

Sorry I cant take pictures of fish to save my life, but any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
