*UPDATE* This pretty boy passes away last night :(

This video was made to help me get comments on what is wrong with him.

The info:

My new Dragon Delta has a bump on his dorsal fin. Its slightly red around the area too. I did not notice it yesterday when I picked hm up from the store.

I had him loos in the tank yesterday to see how he went. He really did have a hard time and stayed at the bottom most and was breathing really ard with some little twitches (maybe gill bugs?).

So I took him out and floated him in the cup with some salt and 2 drops of Stress Coat so he could relax. This morning he looked much better so I released him and he seems to be doing ok. He is flaring at his neighbor and exploring. Breathing is a little quick still, but I know he is also putting in a lot of energy to swim around. I am still seeing a little twitching too.

I just put him back in his cup with new water and some Quick Cure too see if that will help his gills. I can tell he is a little stressed.

What he is housed in:

A single split 10gal with some live plants.
Temp 80`F
PH 7.4
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Hardness 150 (I have hard water here :/)
Alkallinity 180

Any help would be wonderful. My white HM that I had to put down was kinda like this. I really don't want to lose this little guy.

  • @Luimeril He did pass away the next night :(

  • sounds like parasites. get him in his own tank, or he'll pass them on to any neighbors you may have in with him. keep a heater in any tank you put him in, keep the temp around 80F. feed him pellets soaked with garlic juice. if you'd like, pm me and i'll link you to a forum that has some wonderful people who can give you tons of advice and help you alot better than i can.
