Loaches Online Forum

oro died about 3 days ago. we got the ammonia test kit. But it was too late to do anything.
we got 2 long-finned blue danios, a tuxedo female guppy, and a yellow leopard male guppy since she died. the danios and leopard are being treated for ick becuase one danio got ick.

when she breathes she kinda "gulps", and it is sorta labored, she is moving around alot more and now the dead skin is starting to slough off again her whiskers droop but the other dojos whiskers dont. she still wont eat anything. the ammonia test kit at walmart was $10 so we just got some ammonia nu...
