Sick Synodontis Lucipinnis Help Appreciated
Posted: 27 Mar 2021, 01:31
Hello everyone,
I have a group of 10 syno catfish that are all 6 years old. They have been happy and healthy in a 135 gallon tank. The biggest male seems to have gotten ill. I noticed last night and immediately put him in a quarantine tank. He has a lot of swelling/bloat and eye popping. He was perfectly fine last night, swimming like nothing was wrong in the quarantine, just looked beat up. This morning is a different story, he has gotten worse very quickly. I have him in a quarantine alone dosed with melafix. I am not sure the cause and what I can do to help him. Any advice is really appreciated. He was the largest male in the tank and I saw him regularly, this was quite sudden. Currently doing a water change on the main tank.
