Fish Fanatic
So yesterday afternoon I was about to feed my fish and noticed that one of my Danio's was swimming very oddly and also had a few "white patches" on him.
I hadn't noticed anything strange with him earlier in the day or the previous night while feeding.
Here's a video of him swimming stranglely and you might just about see the white bits I mentioned.
It all happened very fast and within about 20 minutes he had completely vanished in the tank. I spent about 45 minutes trying to find him to no avail. I assume his own brothers along with my Amano shrimp ate him .
After this I did a water test and things were fine/normal except Ammonia was at 0.50 which I assume is due to the dead fish. I added some Prime to detoxify it as I wasn't able to do a water change straight away, though have since done that today.
All my other fish and shrimp currently seem normal.
I was just wondering what it could've been that suddenly caused my two year old Danio to die like that? Was it just age or do I need to be worried about something that could also spread to my other fish?
