![]() After eating like pigs for a few days the idols stopped eating. They were hovering near the surface breathing rapidly. I did a 30% water change and lowered the water level in the tanks so they get more oxygenation (the hang on back filter is the only turbulence they get). They seem to be better, but they are still breathing rapidly and not eating.
Any ideas? Suggestions? |

![]() The little guy has powdery spots on it now. The development was very rapid. It happened today (say 12 hours). I have added Cupramine, as the little MI is barely hanging on...

![]() Update: I woke up this morning to find the smaller MI dead on the bottom of the tank. It happened less than 24 hours since I noticed he stopped eating. The bigger one is still swimming around, but not eating.

He had white powdery spots on his sides. I truly believe it's some sort of parasite.... |
