hey...I went in to my old store the other day to check and see how my fish were doing...well....ontop of tons of other issues that I had to tell them to treat, I came upon something that I am unfamiliar with??!!?
the tank that holds the gold gouramis was on observation, so I go to take a look and the poor babies had all turned like a grayish brown color...i mean they had completely lost their gold shine! they seemed to also be very lethargic and had clamped fins...
I looked at the disease guide thing and Im still unsure of what is going on!?!?
I know for a fact that their water parameters prob arent the best I would say that their temp in like 70-74ish...their ammonia is 0, nitrites 0, but I would also guess that their nitrates are through the roof...i can say this bc I still know whats going on there and what maitenance is being performed.
i will try to get pics the next time I am out there... but in the mean time...any ideas??
mucho thanks!
