She seems to be swimming fine and even chasing the male once in these videos. She’s breathing rather rapid and seems her gills are now swollen or burnt? She will try and eat food then shake to spit it back out, as if it isn’t going down easily or she can’t swallow it.
Ph: 8.3
Ammonia: 0
Salinity 1.25
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate : 22ppm
Maybe 116 gill beats per minute.
Just started happening 2 days ago now.
This fish has done some traveling not recently but I know they’re a very established pair. We drove with them in a 5 gallon jug for 3 days from California to Texas. That was last September. They have been in this tank again since September of last year. And before that for a year and a half. Prior to me having them they were a breeding pair for 2-3 years.
She did manage to eat some mysis yesterday but is usually the food motivated bully to her male counter part. When I’m not up against the tank she is in the back corner where they usually sleep.almost none of the markings on her are new as far as what may seem like injury near and around her gills.
