Hi there,
My Bolivian Ram has started looking very ill in the last 24 hours. I've had her for about 12 months.
Her body has turned a dark black colour - almost like coal. She looks lethargic, is only moving around slowly, and isn't coming up to feed (very unlike her). She has begun to open and close her mouth all the time, but it is in a slower motion than a typical gasping action. I've stared at her for a couple of hours and can't see anything obvious wrong i.e. no whitespot, no ulcers, no flicking etc. Her gills maybe look a bit red, but maybe I'm seeing things.
I know that's not much to go on, but if anyone has any advice - or other signs to look for so I can add some medication then I'd be very grateful.
Water parameters are fine (zero across the board) and all other fish in the tank are in good health.
Many thanks in advance.
Jules
