Yes gentlemen! The fish you see in the photo has been like this for a week! First I saw it resting its belly on the bottom, then it started to swim unsteadily by making jumps while swimming. It has been hiding like this for 3 days and prefers to stay still. It was eating food until yesterday. It even chased the corydoras away from it. Today it just looks like this! It has symptoms such as rapid breathing and unsteady (hump-like) swimming. The water parameters and temperature are good. There is no problem with nitrogenous compounds. The female cacatuoides is very healthy. Since I suspected an internal infection, I used two doses of kanaplex in a week, although I did not really hope it would work. I think it will be difficult to get back from this situation. What do you think? I am keeping it in a 50x40x40 tank. It had symptoms before I bought it in this tank. In its previous tank, it lived in a 70x50x40 tank with 8 neon tetras. All the water parameters were very good in that tank. It was generally timid for a year and preferred to hide. A 1.5-year-old male. There is no problem with the other fish. I use a canister filter in both aquariums. Water values: 34-40 microsiemens, 6.5-6.8 pH, 26 degrees temperature, 0-10 mg nitrate, no measured ammonia and nitrite. This is the case for both tanks. I do water changes every 2-3 weeks when I don't see an increase in TDS and nitrate, and instantly when there is a change. I mix RO and tap water. I didn't use any chemicals. I usually fed mostly dry food. Maybe he caught that phenomenon cichlid disease that I can't understand what it is.
