I'm currently treating my whole tank with maracyn as my school of neons have got fin rot and some fungus. 2-4 out of the 10 have it the rest seem ok but i thought i should do the whole tank to be safe. the tank also has 2 coral blue gouramis and a bristlenose plec.
So far the fungus is slowly clearing its day 3 of treatment. on the first day one of my neons died he was verry skinny and sick looking so i thought it was just his time to go.
Now my female gourmi is acting verry strange. it lays on its side on the bottom of the tank gasping and looks like its dying but every now and then she gets up swims around goes to the surface and takes some air and goes back and lays down. All my other fish are acting normal except her. She was getting chased every now and then by the male but theres plenty of places for her to hide from him and she has been fine for the past month or so shes been in there.
I have now put here in a container with an airstone and some plants as the male was nipping at her and also to see if it was the maracyn doing it to her.
any ideas why this is happaning?
Im dosing the tank daily with 1 and a half packets of maracyn as the directions state.
all my other parameters are in check.
