Just noticed my firegoby and my healthier yashia kind of flicking their gills on the sandbed..typical symptoms of ich...but the point is that...they don't have ich.

I treated my heavy-breathing yashia with hyposalinity and Aquamedi Befuran bath for 15 mins a few days ago....but until now it's still not improving..the gills look slightly swelled up..

Should I suspect gill parasites and do something about it? Or am I just overly paranoid?

Any guys have encountered this problem? Can share how you all go about solving it? Been keeping my specific gravity on the lower end and have been pumping my fish with garlic. However, it does'nt seem to work... :(

Always something more important than fish.

My female yashia passed away few days ago...

the male is showing the same symptoms as the female. Now I'm left with no choice but to treat using copper. Just wondering..how long should I treat it for? Is 1 day sufficient for most parasites to die?
