I bought a group of Cryptoheros Sajica(1.5-2") about 1.5 months ago from an online source. Recently they have been acting strange and here is a list of noticeable behavior and physical problems that I just can't diagnose since they don't seem to fit one description for fish diseases.
*White stringy poop
*slightly sunken belly
*very little rubbing against objects
*body color has darkened slightly
*and recently some of them will hide in my sword plants and hold their fins together.
So far I have tried to "fast" them for about 3 days because I read that one diagnosis of stringy poop is constipation.
I have also tried dosing with Kordon Organic Ich Medication(since it will not stain my silicone). I assumed the rubbing against objects could have been an early stage of Ich.
I just bought some Tetra Parasite Guard but have not dosed yet. My feeding regimen is tropical flake food, recently NLS anti-parasitic pellets, and various frozen foods on the weekends as treats. Other fish in the tank are an Albino Pleco(no symptoms), and about have a dozen Rosaline Sharks(they rarely rub against objects).
What do you think is wrong with my fish?:help::icon_frow
Anyone?
I have been keeping fish for several years now but this problem has me stumped!
I'm thinking internal parasites but not quite sure. I'm hoping the Parasite Guard from Tetra will work.
