Tank size: 24 Length, 15 Depth, 12 width. 14.81 Gallons/67.32 Litres [I used a sheet that came with the tank saying how much water it can hold. It's full almost to the top so this should be a rough estimate..]
Take these with a pinch of salt becuase I can't read my test kit for the life of me. Its a "Tetra Test 6 in 1"
pH: between 6.8 - 7.2
nitrite: It says 'safe' levels
nitrate: Same as above
gH: Something like between 8d - 16d?
tank temp: Currently set to 25C
Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): This particular Neon Tetra just...didn't look as well as the others I have. He was swimming with them, but sort of on an angle. Definatley not straight. Almost like he was a little tipsy? His back fin seems to be a little ragged and doesn't look as 'full' as the other fishes tails, it looks short. I got a small spare tank out and cleaned it, filled it with tank water and put him in. I did it as a precaution in case he had something infectious... he's right next to the other fish but he doesn't seem very bothered about them. He's just floating in the middle of this 'hospital' tank being very still. I also don't have a spare heater to put in this hospital tank so Im trying to keep it warm with towels and hot jugs of water by the side of it, maybe hes a little cold..? I'd buy a new heater but it's too late to go out and get one now.
Volume and Frequency of water changes: Roughly 20% of the water once a week on a Wednesday.
Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: No chemicals [EDIT: Wait, slight oversight. Using Tetra Aquasafe], media..does that media, like equipment? Theres a Tetra Tec HT50 and a Fluval U2 underwater filter in there.
Tank inhabitants: Normally 6 Neon Tetra (The sick one has been taking out into that little hospital tank I mentioned) and about 12 Cherry Shrimp. Oh, and Im pretty sure theres one snail in there too. Theres a few small plants in there too, but I don't know there names...
Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration): Earlier today I put in 6 Cherry Shrimp.
Exposure to chemicals: None.
Unable to get a decent photo of him.
Sorry if this infomation is kinda rubbish, did my best. ^^"
Tank has been set up since roughly the beginning of January, Only put in 6 Cherry Shrimp & the Tetras last week, and the plants the week before that. 6 more shrimp went in today but I don't think this could of affected this Tetra in such a short space of time..?
EDIT: managed to get a half decent picture~
