First the essentials:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrates - 40 (I do water changes on saturday)Tomorrow !
PH 7.8
Temp 78F

No new fish or decorations..
Tank 110 with 3 2217 canister filters and 1 powerjet with a filter attachment.
stock: 1 11" red O 1 7" JD 1 6" albino O (The problem) and 6 SD

I'm over stocked but over filtered and 33% water changes weekly.

So now that you have all the info I have. My 6 month old albino/lutino is just sitting on the bottom at night and standing on her head behind the plastic plants during the day.
Fins look rotted,, I started treating with melefix, but with nothing new in the tank what happened..
She does not want to eat so I suspended feeding all for a day..

Help please..

Thanks

Do you have a Hospital tank? Or is it possible to move her?

I would bet she is getting picked on!

Hey Nicki,
No I don't have another tank, and I thought the same thing but, they have been peaceful together for several months ( I know things change), but I have never seen any agression other than the big red attacking the plants and jacj chasing the SDs..

Thanks for the reply.. I don't think I over feed, but the head stand, could it be swim bladder?

Excuse the music.. It's friday..

She looks pitifull. Any thoughts??

Seriously My money is on hiding to avoid aggression! I have had this issue with other fish.. She looks like she is trying to blend in with her environment...

x2 on that

I disagree, she is looking bad.. Fin rot was hard to show in the vid. but, did you not see it just laying on the floor? Not normal after 6 months in the same tank. All the other fish seem fine for now, but I don't want the other fish to get sick.. ????
I'm at a loss.. and feeling helpless !!

At 8 seconds in you can see the EY pick at her fin... you think that only happened once?

Your water is good, she doesn;t look sick.

Put your hand in the tank and try to get her to swim.. Does she swim normally?

I also see a spot on her side that looks like AN OSCAR BITE! Try a divider!

What a bl**dy shame mate I feel for you...........

thanks for the thoughts, I hope you are right.. I just don't see the agreassion. The yellow lab would be easy food if the O wanted, but I don't feed live food, so they don't recognize the fish,, Note to self (once again) don't drink and type..!

I agree with the other with it in that condition any sized fish even tetras would have a go. early stages of fin rot alone wouldn't do that, if it is more than that at a guess I would say possible swim bladder or internal infection. to be honest i would be surprised if it survived even if you moved it, its not looking good.

just a last thought, does it swim around? can it hold itself off the bottom? upright? how longs it been like that?
