Hi, I have a batch of young blue rams almost ready for sale and quite a few of them have developed swollen and red gills. I have less than 10 nitrates, and have never had ammonia/nitrites. Also, I do 50% water changes every 2-3 days, there are about 55 of them in a 50g tank...
They are eating and swimming just fine, they exhibit no other symptoms, water is 86 and heavily filtered. I also added a bubble wand to really get the o2 in there.
Any ideas? I am stumped. I pulled out one dead body today, the first in many months. Don't know if I should just wait and watch, or treat with an antibiotic. (If so, which one?!) If you have any advice I'd sure appreciate it!
