Popeye or something else?
Sorry if too graphic, I noticed what I thought was popeye on my Severum, purchased esha2000 but had to wait for delivery next day. Isolated, started treating to correct dose, fish was upright and what I thought, stable.
Check this morning and it’s on its side, passed.
Is it a trauma injury, or another infection or just it was too far gone?
Water parameters in main tank for Ammonia Nitrate and Nitrate all perfect and not strip tested.
It was over 30 degrees here and the tank temp warmed up, and there was more aggression in the tank, also red parrots paired up and laid eggs.
They’re the only variables I can think of.
Tank mates are Chocolate Cichlid, 2 Red Parrots, 5 Geo’s, 2 other Severums and a juvenile Nicaraguan.
