gill flukes highly likely... Do regular water changes and use Sterazin.
Hi
I jsut realised that my male synspilum (cichlid, 8") is breathing hard.
and on closer look, i realise that one side of his gill cover is completely closed, and only the other side is opening and closing.
He is breathing harder than normal.
Had anyone encountered this problem before??
IS there a particular cause for this ?
Thanks

As Above, So Below...
there isnt any problem with water quality...thats the mystery.
anyway i added some salt and suddenly both the gill covers are moving again..will see how it goes again.thanks
my discus had this problem long long ago. but it recovered on its own after salt has been added. don't know what happened too.
hi lsz
it may be best to start with a mid-term salt treatment of about 3 weeks at 1tbsp to 5 gallons of water.....take a closer look to see if there are any mucus trails coming from the affected side......
