So, its been at least 5 months since I have added anything new to my tank. My last addition was 2 horned snails, one that died off quickly.
Last week one of my remaining 4 cory cats was lying on its side gasping for air. At first it could right itself but eventually it grew weak, and I did the kindest thing I could do and euthanize it. There was no sign of disease, but I don’t know if it was wild caught or not and other details. I had it for about a year when it passed.
Now I have one of my remaining 4 pearl danios that looks really bad He hasnt been eating much, has a lump in his abdomen, and his back is a little curved. He tries to eat but spits it right back up. Im a little worried it might be fish TB but no other fish has shown any signs, and I know the other danios pick on him.
The rest of my 20g tank with a 30g filter is fine.
I have 2 upsidedown catfish, 3 leopardus cories (sold to me as false julis, I had more but one died to a fungal infection and one died by giving itself internal bleeding running into the side of the tank) and 3 other danios aside from the sick one.
Only other fish is my albino bristlenose pleco, full grown.
I have a single horned snail.
The water parameters are fine, and ive been treating with flourish Excel for BBA
The only thing about my water is it is very hard, but its always been that way.
I typically do a 25% water change every 2 weeks unless I change filter media, then I let it run an extra week and then do a 35% water change.
Here is a pic of the fish.
Should I euthanize it? What do you think is wrong?
