Barracuda-m Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I've had a couple of P. Nyererei in my tank for two years or so, and one of them has looked on the brink of death for 18 months or more. Nobody bugs her, really, and she eats just fine. She just floats vertically all the time, and her fins look like crap. When I do a water change, it's even worse. She sometimes lies on the bottom of the tank, on her side. Looks like she's dead til I feed her, then she swims merrily to the top, eats, then goes back to half dead. I quarantined her in a hospital tank when she first "got sick", treated her with Maracyn, nothing changed, so I put her back in "gen pop" a week later. She stayed the same, and none of my other fish are affected. Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong? When people come over and check out my tank, they tell me I have a dying fish, and I should take her out. I'm tired of explaining that she always looks/acts like that.
