Slash Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 My Celestial Pearl Danio is having trouble breathing it seems. Other CPDs are fine as are other fish. I'd had it for at least 6 months. What should I treat it with? I have Fritz ParaCleanse and Fritz Maracyn. I'm not sure what's wrong. Any ideas? Water parameters: Ammonia: 0 NO2: 0 NO3: 40 PH: 6.5 KH: 0 GH: 60 In a 29 gallon with 2 Honey Gouramis, a Panda Gara, 7 Habrosus Corydoras and 3 other CPD who seem fine. They are all make I believe and this one struggling is a female I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Have you added anything new to the tank resently has it been eating ok also I would add an extra air stone and a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons it helps with gill function and adds essential electrolytes to reduce stress in your fish Edited October 11, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikv6 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 A KH of 0 is always a bit worrisome to me, as it can result in PH fluctuations, or a PH crash. Could that be related....possibly. I would test the tap and see what the KH is. You can use crush coral to help raise KH, and, in turn, stabilize the PH and prevent a crash. I think adding an extra air stone would be a good idea, as well. Out of the two meds you have, I think Maracyn would be more of a broad spectrum treatment, but you may want to try some salt and an extra air stone first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
