Thomas W · Post by **Thomas W** » 07 Oct 2007, 12:30

As i said in my other post both my Panaque L-190 and Baryancistrus L-018 are swimming very high and they like to stay together. Today i woke up and my L-018 seems extremly confused and slow. He used to be very shy, but today i could touch him and he dident do anything. btw: dosent seems like he is eating cause his belly are very sunken. What could this be?
Someone said it may be the nitrat but yeseterday i changed 50% of the water.

Ammonia, Nitrite or nitrate poisoning.
What are your levels for each of the above?

They are close to 0. But they was maybe higher before the water change.

So could they be poisoned. and what should i do then?

There are a few problems with this post.

1. There is already a post on this exact subject. This post should be an update in that thread so that people have all of the background information available to help you in one place.

2. At the top of this forum there is a list of all the parameters we need results for in order to help you with sick fish questions. It's there for a good reason. Without that information, everyone is wasting their time and just shooting in the dark.

3. You have no location in your profile. Without knowing at least what country you're posting from, it's VERY difficult to tell you what products you could use to help with a potential issue. They vary greatly from country to country and it's one of the major reasons it's a rule here to have at least the country you come from in your profile. If you could add that, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to lock this thread and I'll attempt to help solve some of your issues in the original.
