kindasleepy Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Hi Guys, So I had a customer today that has a problem that I've seen at the store every so often too. With our Blues (the stores) it usually shows up in a new shipment after they've been with us for about 3-4 days. My customer has had his for years and has had no new additions to his tank and he's a "fish guy" so he's pretty knowledgable during our discussion about water quality etc. So the symptoms are bloating, brown spots and then they develop a c shape curve to their bodies like they're trying to look at their own tails. Then they die. I'm intrigued because none of my customers have ever mentioned this happening in their fish until now. I assumed it was shipping stress or something of the like. I've done some reading online and some people call it Velvet, some people say it's a parasite, some say fungal, some say bacterial. Some say it's too small of a gene pool. My customer was saying the same thing about the research, there appears to be no definitive cause. What's your take on it?

jeanie1978 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Has he had his levels checked or the fish. Sounds like a methemoglobin problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
