Hello. I had a parrot fish death this morning and trying to figure out what the heck happened.
I have: 3 blood red parrots, 1 black knife ghost fish, 3 kribensis, in a 125 gallon tank. I've had the parrots and black knife for 3 years.
(Will post water parameters in a bit, my test strips are expired)
A few weeks ago, I had a battle with Ich, and thought I had won.. the fish seemed to be healing, although the parrots were still hanging out near the top. I'm fairly good with my weekly water changes - if I miss one week, I'll do a few extra buckets the next week. I've done 2 water changes since the Ich treatment.
Today, I found my smallest parrot upside down under a piece of driftwood. His gills were wide open, and look feathered. Is this what gills normally look like, or am I dealing with another parasite? Any advice appreciated much. I don't want to lose another fish.
